dc.description.abstractBackground: The National Medical Commission introduced Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) in India to enhance the quality of medical training. Family Adoption Program, which is a key initiative in CBME, aims to improve health literacy and community care while providing medical students with experiential learning opportunities. Being a newly introduced program, there is deficiency of data on the perception and experiences of primary stakeholders, which this study intends to explore. Methods: Descriptive study was conducted among medical students of a private medical college in Kozhikode district, Kerala. Universal sampling was used with a sample size of 300. Data was obtained through pre-tested questionnaire and was analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: Results indicated that majority of students understood the four main objectives of FAP. Most of them (95.5%) found the program to be beneficial to their academics and 98.2% recognized its value in their development as future doctors. Health issues were addressed effectively by 59.8%. While most students were comfortable interacting with their families, various challenges were also mentioned. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that FAP has had significant positive impact on students' academic learning, community engagement and practical skills application.en_US
