The Department of Community Medicine at MGM Medical College, Panvel, is dedicated to the holistic education and training of undergraduate students in public health and preventive medicine. The department functions through its Administrative Block, a shared Museum, and a Laboratory facility, providing a strong academic foundation during the first three years of the MBBS course and internship. With active engagement in real-world health services, the department operates through two major field practice areas—Urban Health Training Centre (UHTC), Kalamboli, and Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC), Apata—offering students exposure to primary healthcare delivery, national health programmes, and community-based interventions. The museum spans 101.84 sq. m and houses 114 specimens, 48 charts, 12 models, and 141 instruments, aiding in visual and experiential learning. The shared laboratory covers 182.3 sq. m, equipped with 30 dissecting microscopes and 84 teaching slides to support hands-on training. The department teaches a wide array of public health topics such as epidemiology, disease prevention, health promotion, nutrition, demography, biostatistics, and environmental health. Students also learn about screening strategies, maternal and child health, and occupational safety. Educational visits to public health institutions and implementation of the Family Adoption Programme further enrich learning and social responsibility. The department plays a key role in mentoring students in health research and field-based community projects. With a focus on population health and healthcare systems, it serves as a bridge between clinical practice and public health policy. Its contributions extend to both academic excellence and societal impact, preparing future physicians to be effective public health advocates and community leaders.
