India's commitment to universal health coverage has grown stronger with the submission of High Level Expert Group report by the Planning Commission in 2012. With this report comes the commitment to increase the primary health-care workforce to meet the population needs. However, the focus should not be just to increase the number of health workers, but to produce better health workers. Doctors, nurses and community health workers trained in primary and secondary health-care facilities can make a significant contribution in responding to the needs of the local community. The role of family medicine education is worth exploring in this context to equip the primary care health workers with the competencies of providing person-centered, comprehensive and continuous care.

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of nurse leaders in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda who have taken on expanded roles through task shifting. Understanding how nurses perceive task shifting directs education and training to more effectively meet population health needs in their communities. Participants were nurse leaders in countries with complex health care systems and few resources. Participants identified conflicting roles and expectations that were not consistent with their role preparation or scope of practice.
