“AssessingtheEducationalImpactsandInstitutionalDynamicsofaFamilyAdoption Program:AQualitative Inquiry at Noida International Institute of Medical Sciences”

Introduction: This qualitative inquiry explores the educational impacts and institutional dynamics of the Family Adoption Program (FAP) at Noida International Institute of Medical Sciences (NIIMS). Initiated by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the FAP aims to imbue medical graduates with a comprehensive community health perspective, aligning with national health goals. Objectives: The study aims to investigate the educational impacts and institutional dynamics of the FAP, focusing on skill development, faculty perceptions, and institutional factors impacting implementation and sustainability. Methodology: A qualitative approach with purposive sampling was used to select participants, including medical students, faculty members, and administrators involved in the FAP. Data was collected through interviews, and focus group discussions, then analyzed using thematic and forced field analysis techniques. Results: Findings reveal significant educational enrichment through the FAP, with improvements in clinical skills, communication abilities, and cultural competence reported by participants. However, challenges such as faculty overburden, balancing academic responsibilities and resource constraints were identified. Discussion: The study provides valuable insights into the driving and restraining forces influencing the FAP's effectiveness and implementation. Actionable insights from this study can inform evidence-based strategies for optimizing the design and implementation of FAPs in diverse educational settings. Conclusion: This qualitative inquiry contributes to our understanding of innovative pedagogical practices in medical education and informs strategies for enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of FAPs. By addressing identified challenges and leveraging driving forces, future efforts can enhance medical education and healthcare delivery.
