title: [The "school physicians" specialist group of the SGSPM (Swiss Society of Social and Preventive Medicine)].
abstract: Section of School Health of the Swiss Society for Social- and Preventive Medicine. Since 1981 our group is striving to get in contact with all doctors engaged in school health services. Our aims are: - Increase in the maintenance of contacts with all collegues in school health services (from G.P. to fully employed school physicians). - Exchange of experiences with and post-graduate training for these collegues. - Further development and improvement of primary, secondary and tertiary preventive measures for school children in the whole country. According to an investigation carried out by this group, nearly 1800 doctors are involved in school health. The article also gives some information about future tasks and plans and especially about national meetings on school health subjects, which usually take place parallel to the scientific meeting of the Swiss Society for Social- and Preventive Medicine. The present issue is an extended report of the first section meeting in Basle, June 1982.
