Abstract

Over the last few decades, systematic critiques of medicine and public health curricula in India have highlighted many lapses in the inclusion of social determinants of health in medical education. Health is often predicated on social structures with prescriptive gender identities and associated power relations. Needless to say, gender is a pivotal determinant of health. In India, medical education, comprising training and curriculum, is often divorced from gender theory and perspective. There has, therefore, been a call for a re-orientation of medical education in India to include gender in the instruction and training of medical students.
