Abstract
Despite the stated aim of Medical Council of India (body regulating medical education in India) to produce an Indian Medical Graduate with requisite knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and responsiveness, so that he or she may function appropriately and effectively as a doctor of first contact of the community while being globally relevant, it appears that we failed. The joint working group extensively consisting of medical teachers have come up with suggestions which may work as the game changer in Indian Health care system. The key is to dedicate medical education towards primary care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
