Family Health Survey is introduced in the syllabus of Community Medicine to give adequate exposure to the undergraduate medical students about the family and its surrounding environment, so that they can understand the health needs of the community from a broader perspective.MBBS curriculum also have been made more community oriented by increasing learning hours in Community Medicine. Present study was planned to take feedback from students regarding family health survey after their community exposure. The study revealed that students received good community exposure and understood the life style, needs, and problems of people residing in the slums. Thus community oriented learning could be complementary to formal teaching in Community Medicine.
