title: [Social medicine within medical education--experience abroad].
abstract: The trend to classify ("teaching" of social medicine more within the framework of development of primary or community-based health care is described. The apparent inefficiency of theoretical (lecture-based) presentation of social medicine asks for more weight to combine such a course with practical experience in the field of community-based health care. The growing importance of associations like the NETWORK (Community Oriented Educational Institutions for the Health Sciences) and of the International Clinical Epidemiology Network (INCLEN) is discussed.
