R Webster, and D Christie

After changes to the curriculum of the University of Melbourne Medical School, a Department of Community Health has been established. Undergraduate teaching will be carried out in the first, third, fourth and sixth years of the course. Although an introduction to primary care will occur in first year, the teaching emphasis in the preclinical years will be in the behavioural sciences, epidemiology and social medicine. Primary care as a clinical subject will be taught in fourth year with electives available in the sixth year.
