title: [Education and continued education in public health. Wishes and reality at the present time; demands for the future].
abstract: Sociomedicine in research and practice, i.e. in universities and in public health services, has experienced an upswing many had not expected. The health requirements of society and not only those of the individual have gained a new topicality as social factors were rediscovered in connection with health. Public health services can be advisors to politicians and defence attorneys for the population by assuming a new role and a new measure of self-understanding in the realisation of old but always fresh topics such as environmental medicine (formerly known as environmental hygiene). To translate the multitude of sociomedical tasks effectively into reality, the practically active sociomedical officer in public health services stands in need of the backing and help by sociomedical researchers in the relevant university departments. It will be imperative to achieve in future a greatly improved and closer cooperation between research and practice in sociomedicine.
