The HeART program primarily aims to provide the first year medical students a broader perspective of health and disease. Through the week-long hands-on Community Based learning experience, it encourages the students to experience and explore the complex inter-relations that exist between the biological, environmental & social factors and health.
The HeART module would enable the students to
- Observe, interact with and experience the daily life of the local populace
- Explore the social, cultural and environmental links of health and disease
- Work as a team, in organizing, coordinating and facilitating the program
- Use qualitative data collection tools to elicit necessary information
- Gather, collate and understand primary and secondary data
- Communicate / present their findings with a broader audience
The program would also sensitise the students to the basics of
- The nature of Scientific Approach
- Quantitative and Qualitative Research methods
