Conclusion: There is no existing category for Community Medicine, Preventive Medicine, Public Health, or Social Medicine in the database. A new category would need to be defined. The most appropriate name would be one of:
community medicine(most common in South Asian medical curricula)public health(internationally recognized)preventive medicine(matches the book's own title)
I'd recommend
community medicine to align with how it is taught in medical schools where Park's textbook is primarily used.This is a shared conversation. Sign in to Orris to start your own chat.
