Abstract

Abstract: Healthcare undergraduates’ curriculum is mostly based on clinical assessment and management of the patients. Consideration to the client, family, and community aspect is negligible. Health Management of a client requires a holistic approach encompassing the role of quality of services, communications skills, managing family and community; with ethical practices abiding the rules and regulations etc. World Health Organization (WHO) also defines health in terms of physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Thus, for managing client, undergraduates need to be imparted with it is more than just teaching only the clinical approach. The 5Ss’ model concept is being presented for redesigning the healthcare undergraduate curriculum and to focus on the role of Self, Society, State, Systems and Spirituality as a part of the curriculum.
