A structured experiential curriculum in community medicine.
In order to provide experimental training in community medicine, a structured curriculum has been developed. Specific methodological skills in community medicine are identified and nine content areas are presented in seminar form during the three-year training program. Each resident is expected to participate in a community health care project and demonstrate one or more of the methodological skills identified. The experiences of two residents are reported. One involved a community health needs assessment and one, the development of a mechanism to ensure continuing consumer/provider communication.
