Community

The college is affiliated to Podanur Primary Health center which serves about 65 thousand populations. In addition to the provision of primary health services, our college has its own community health center within the college premises for providing health care services to the Itteri community people.

The students gain community clinical experience by providing domiciliary services both in urban and rural areas and are posted in primary health centre and rural health centers throughout the year. In addition to the regular services, the students are involved in all the special camps and programmes organized by the hospital and health centers.
