title: The way teaching human physiology can support primary prevention.
abstract: In this article, a rationale is provided to prove that teaching human physiology--according to its definition and characteristics--could effectively support also the cause of health culture and prevention by establishing an appropriate, high level scientific background knowledge in the medical schools. The concept of a reform curriculum of integrative physiology developed in order to serve this task is outlined. An international cooperation is suggested to develop further this concept.
