Violence as a public health issue.

Violence--homicides, suicides, injuries caused by youth or family acts--continues in the United States. Firearms are involved in most incidents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention addresses the problem using the traditional tools of public health: epidemiologic data, individual and societal interventions based on the data, and ongoing evaluations to assess the effects of the interventions and change them if necessary. Examples of interventions are presented.

Introducing preclinical students to primary care through a community preceptorship program.

In the 1980-81 academic year, the Morehouse School of Medicine implemented a preceptorship program designed to introduce preclinical students to primary care. The program is unique in that it is required for all first- and second-year students; it is continuous throughout the first two years of medical school; it exposes students to a variety of primary care specialties, settings, and practice modes; and it enables students to follow a family for one to two years. A preliminary evaluation of the program's first year indicates that it has had an impact on the students' attitudes, knowledge, and career plans. The objectives and operation of the program are described.

Future family physicians get early community contact in Morehouse curriculum.

The pre-clinical curriculum of the Morehouse School of Medicine is unique in several ways. One of the ways in which this curriculum is unique is the manner in which it has involved practicing physicians in the education of medical students during their first two years of medical school. Throughout the country, many physicians have expressed an interest in this involvement of community physicians in the teaching of medical students during what might be their most impressionable period of development. The article which follows describes concisely the development of Community Medicine and Family Practice at the Morehouse School of Medicine, highlighting the issues which relate to the role of community physicians in the teaching of medical students during the pre-clinical years. It is the contention of Morehouse officials that the involvement of practicing physicians in the early education of medical students is very important and that it does not necessitate a compromise of the basic science education which is taking place at this time.

Results of a needs assessment strategy in developing a family practice program in an inner-city community.

The planners of an inner-city clinic and family practice residency program conducted a four-step needs assessment study to identify the importance, availability, and feasibility of local family practice services and objectives. Using mailout-mailback and supervised questionnaire data collection techniques, they contacted 1,020 consumers and providers. Those objectives rated most important and feasible and least available were given top priority for implementation, while the objectives rated important and unavailable but not currently feasible received research priorities.
