A course in the medical school curriculum has been described. We have pointed out the integration with the basic sciences, growth and development and preventive medicine, and we have emphasized the relationship of the psychologic, economic and sociologic aspects of the patient's environment to disease.

The principle of self-education is emphasized throughout the four-year experience of the student. The close guidance of the student is provided by the active participation of the faculty of the School of Medicine and many additional people in the University and community.

The experiences of the student in the first two years of the course have been reviewed in an attempt to evaluate their achievements.

The total curriculum time of the Family Medicine Course for the four years is 116 hours. This represents approximately 23frac12% of the total curriculum time of the Medical School.
