Introduction: Family adoption program (FAP) incorporated into the undergraduate medical education curriculum is beneficial to all stakeholders involved. Many medical colleges have started FAP at different times and various levels based on resources availability, feasibility, and accessibility. This article is intended to cover the process of FAP implementation, the strength, weakness, opportunities, and challenges at various levels, and its scope in future. Methodology: FAP was launched by adopting a village, 12 km away from the college. During the foundation course, orientation lessons and logbook discussions were conducted before the actual field visit. During the initial visit, families were assigned, which was followed by collecting sociodemographic information, a plantation drive, and organizing medical camp during FAP visits. Observations: The strengths perceived were early community exposure of students and leadership skills, and the weaknesses were allocating adequate number of slots in the curriculum, Similarly, FAP has an opportunity to achieve the larger goal of Heath for All in terms of identifying, following up, and managing various socio clinical cases in the adopted families. However, few challenges such as language problem, allotment of problem families, cultural taboos, etc., Conclusion: Students who complete this program will have the finest exposure to rural areas and become community health doctors, and the community will also have greater access to health care, improved health care–seeking behavior, and positive health, which will allow us to ultimately reach our goals of Health for All.
