Welcome to the Department of Community Medicine at GMC, OGE, Chennai-02!
Community Medicine is more than a subject—it is a mission to bridge the gap between healthcare and the people who need it the most. In our department, we believe in shaping healthcare professionals who are not just doctors but also changemakers, innovators, and advocates of public health.
Our approach is dynamic and student-centered, blending classroom learning with immersive fieldwork and real-world problem solving. From addressing local public health issues to contributing to global health solutions, we equip our students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to excel as leaders in the ever-changing landscape of medicine.
The heart of our department lies in our collaborative spirit—whether it is designing impactful outreach programs, conducting high-impact research, or empowering communities through education. Our experienced faculty is dedicated to mentoring students to think beyond the stethoscope and embrace the social dimensions of health.

Joining us means stepping into a world where your actions can change lives. You will not only learn the science of community health but also develop the empathy and vision to redefine it. At GMC, OGE, Chennai-02, we nurture your passion for medicine and channel it into a lifelong commitment to better health outcomes for all.
