A Practical Guide for the Postgraduate Course in Community Medicine, Public Health and Health Management

The Community Medicine, Public Health and Health management subjects undergo frequent changes according to the need of the community and to match its dynamic growth. The practical aspect is also important for the examination as well as learning point of view. As per our knowledge, till date, no such practical book is available to meet the demands of the post graduate program (pg) students in this field.It gives us immense pleasure to present the second edition of practical book for post graduate students. The book is divided into six sections - Family Medicine, Health Management, Epidemiology - Bio statistics, Health Promotion, Public Health Laboratory and Spotters. We hope this unique book will boost the confidence of students for appearing in post graduate practical exams in the above field.
