Understanding the Believers UG Clinics Experience:
The Believers UG Clinics aim to provide medical students with more than just theoretical knowledge. Dr. Riya Mathew, in her role as a facilitator and contributor to this unique initiative, sheds light on the distinctive features that make these clinics a cross-cultural learning experience.
1. Beyond Classroom Education: The clinics transcend the traditional boundaries of classroom education, offering students a hands-on experience that goes beyond textbooks and lectures. It's about immersing oneself in the practical aspects of medicine, interacting with patients, and understanding the nuances of real-life healthcare scenarios.
2. Cross-Cultural Exposure: One of the key highlights of the Believers UG Clinics is the exposure to a diverse range of cultural contexts. As medical students engage with patients from various backgrounds, they not only learn about different health conditions but also gain insights into the cultural influences that shape healthcare decisions and practices.
3. Practical Application of Family Medicine: Dr. Riya Mathew emphasizes the practical application of family medicine in these clinics. From diagnosis to treatment planning and ongoing care, students have the opportunity to witness and participate in the holistic approach that family medicine brings to healthcare.
4. Nurturing Compassionate Healthcare Providers: The clinics are not just about medical procedures; they are a platform for nurturing compassionate healthcare providers. Students learn the importance of empathy, effective communication, and understanding the social determinants that impact patients' well-being.
5. Project Coordination in NRC NCD: Dr. Riya Mathew, as the Project Coordinator for NRC NCD (National Resource Centre for Non-Communicable Diseases), plays a crucial role in ensuring that the clinics align with broader healthcare initiatives. The integration of project coordination adds a layer of real-world applicability to the students' learning experiences.
