Primary care student group may include the aging interest group, pediatric interest group, internal medicine interest group; improve health care interest group, family interest group and Integrative medicine interest group. Also special interest group and community interest groups are include in the student groups.
Traditionally, community interest groups determined the direction of the primary health care across the world because it involved the patients and the public. Thus most student doctor preferred this strategy because they were placed at a position of serving the community in general. However due to increase in the number of the elderly, the geriatric group has emerged. Many medical professionals are interested in this area and special cares have been established to address the issues that they elderly are faced with. Additionally, many academic units in the universities have come up with a special interest groups. This group is targeted to be informed and evidence based and it covers areas like expertise, partnership working and innovation (Geoffrey, 2012).
Family interest group has impacted on health in a number of proactive ways. Because of this the number of students considering this field has always been on increase. Usually, the members of this group are more informed on family medicine and community medicine as well. Family care has succeed in promoting awareness and increasing diversity of opportunities for students in the Family Medicine making it very attractive for students wanting to join medical school. It has also succeeded in enhancing the values of primary health care particularly within the health facilities, and this interests many students (Border, 2010).
