continues process, and to achieve this object the Indian Medical Association
decided in the year 1963 to start a College of General Practitioners. This
College covers the need of at least 85% of the members of the profession in the
country.
So far, the CME needs of the profession were being
met by lectures in the branches of the Association and by other academic
programmes by Refresher / Orientation Courses. Though some success was achieved
by the then methods; the procedure needs to be systematized for maximum benefit
to ensure.
For the reason, I.M.A COLLEGE OF GENERAL
PRACTITIONERS has established its Faculties / Sub-Faculties all over the
country, in each State to carry out the teaching / training programmes as laid
down by the College.
The I.M.A COLLEGE OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS has set
up a uniform pattern of refresher activity all over the country and is deriving
full cooperation from the medical colleges and other postgraduate institutions.
Assistance is also available sometimes from the Union and State Governments on
individual programme basis.
The motto of the IMACGP is to make concerted
efforts to promote CME activities, allot SELF STUDY CREDIT HOURS, conduct its
fellowship Examination (FCGP) and conduct Residency / Vocational Training
Programmes in general practice. It has identified National Professors and
Teaching Faculties at State level in addition to publication of specific
