The cycle of family function: a conceptual model for family medicine.

Information gained from family studies requires integration in the educational matrix of family medicine. To facilitate this activity a model that synthesizes major theories and definitions is presented. This paper describes a conceptual model that includes components that have been identified as basic to the recognition and understanding of the family in trouble. It is proposed that knowledge of family function as represented in the model, the Cycle of Family Function, will, in turn, help the physician assess and manage problems presented by patients who are victims of stress related to family problems.

Extramural training of medical students: lessons from Southeast Asia.

Several medical schools in Southeast Asia have identified deficiencies in their undergraduate medical education that result in inappropriate training of students for the health-care problems that exist in their respective countries. Curriculum changes have been made that take students out of the laboratory and the subspecialty-oriented university hospital and place them in extramural programs in the community. Both the deficiencies identified and the solutions developed merit study by North American medical educators, especially those teaching primary care in family practice.

School health-history forms. A study of those used in California, with suggestions for changes.

The health history form has an important role in the evaluation of student performance. Recommendations for therapeutic programs may be based on information gained from the health history. One hundred three California high schools reported the frequency of their use of the health history form. Only 56 percent of these schools require health histories of their new students. Only 38 percent obtain health histories from their athletes.Sixty-four of the 103 California high schools responding enclosed copies of the health history form in use in their schools. Analysis of these forms revealed a lack of uniformity of content and, in general, failure to obtain information pertinent to the in-school student problem.A format for a school health history form whose primary purpose is to reveal school-related health data was developed.
