According to the Lancet report the number of health facilities in rural areas has shown an upward trend in the last decade, how to get enough doctors to work in villages still remains a formidable challenge for India. The problem _ (1) _ [exceed] the scope of this rather simplistic solution. Its moorings lie in the tastes our medical education system has cultivated over the years. Keeping with this, our undergraduate medical education was to focus on creating a dedicated and competent primary-care physician, sensitised to the desirability of primary care for the country’s health needs, especially those of its rural population. This, however, hardly _ (2) _ [produce]. The National Health Policy advocated training a primary-care physician capable enough of providing essential health services to the rural population. The Regulations on Graduate Medical Education _ (3) _ [spread] in 1997 laid a strong emphasis on health and community, apart from _ (4) _ [directed] horizontal and vertical integration and problem-based learning. The goal has been twofold, that of creating not only a competent primary-care physician but also one that is oriented to health and community rather than disease and hospital. While a debate over how much of the former has been realised makes a topic for another day, success in the latter evidently remains elusive. A few _ (5) _ [fitted] and timely observations need to be made here. We, through our medical curriculum, haven’t actively sought to _ (6) _ [bringing] medical students with the sociocultural setting in which medicine functions in India. The current amount and rigour of community postings are grossly insufficient to lead to the desired end, and tertiary hospitals located in urban areas continue to be the temples of primary medical education, _ (7) _ [separated] it from much of the ground reality of healthcare. While there’s no denying that the way to secondary and tertiary medicine has to pass through primary medicine, it ill _ (8) _ [suit] a country like India to allow undergraduate medical education to be _ (9) _ [lower] to the status of a mere stepping stone to medical specialization. With medical education failing to hold the torch for primary care, an affiliation for specialty- and super-specialty medicine has grown largely unchecked in a setting which has perennially failed to prioritise primary care over hospital care. We need a medical curriculum that is adequately oriented to primary care and community health, and a healthcare system and policy environment that gives them their due. The kind of training _ (10) _ [convey] largely decides the kind of motivation carried into service. This has to be realised at the earliest.
