Where this comes from

Abstract

The clarity on the structure and functioning of academic Public health, Community Medicine and Family Medicine appears to missing to a large extent. The confusion appears more visible now than ever before. The dichotomy in regulating medical training by India's regulators, the National Medical Commission (NMC) and National Board of Examination (NBE) does not seem to be helping the situation either. Added to it is the confusion created by academic institution not directly regulated by the NMC.
