title: The community - an essential in medical education.
abstract: This paper outlines some of the components of community medical practice and community physicians. These, although not peculiar to this area alone, certainly in toto make the community an essential area for the doctor in training to become involved in some of the students' problems. The latter part of the paper attempts to illustrate some potential ways to utilize the community as part of the educational program of doctors. The need for this type of training is essential.
