The objectives of UGs medical education have been clearly defined. At the end of undergraduate program, the Indian Medical graduate should be able to recognize “ Health for All” as a national goal, learn every aspect of national policies on health, achieve competency in holistic medicine, develop scientific temper and observe medical ethics.
