if these postings are part of the course, it is the duty of the med school to arrange for it, and assign accordingly....otherwise, they are failing in their duties...
if it is however, not part of the official postings, and is like an elective, then you will have to arrange it yourself....
family/primary health means different things in different countries.....in uk/oz, that means gp's......in msia, where a big portion of primary healthcare is provided by the public sector, it can mean one of the gov walk-in polyclinics.....
however, it is quite different, the way things are done in a gp clinic compared to a gov clinic, so exposure to both is useful, and i know some ipta that includes both in their rotations....
When I saw family medicine, I was thinking of primary care actually. Is family medicine different to primary care/GP postings?

Sunway Monash also does such interview and they asked question on what you know abt diabetes. Is it too technical for a potential student or they are looking for other positive factors?

Don't think they require you to illustrate details of the disease, probably just testing your current understanding of the issue, like: "it's on the rise" and ways to prevent such trend to progress out of hand.
