title: Teaching health education in medical education: selected perspectives.
abstract: Growing awareness of the need to incorporate prevention and psychosocial considerations into medical care practice has led to the inclusion of formal health education curricula in medical schools and residency programs. This paper examines the role of health education in medical education from several perspectives: an historical background, a review of the literature, and a characterization of current programs in the United States.
