Abstract

Recently, while the medical technology developed remarkably on the one hand, the soscial need for preventive medicine largely increased on the other. In Japan, it is an urgent problem of the medical education how to create effective methodology and technology of the preventive medicine that can attract students who generally prefer to become professionals in clinical medicine.<BR>Since 1978 we have practiced an educational programme in which each student looks after one family picked up from the agricultural district for one year, caring for the health of the family members and helping them out of health problems, if there are any. In this way students can learn primary health care and community health of their own will.<BR>Compared with the traditional method, this method is effective in making the students understand with real interest the meanings of comprehensive primary health care through concerning themselves in the health care of a family as “a socio-economical-psycho-complex”.
