Undergraduate orthodontics--a collision course on occlusion.
Five years ago the dental school at Belfast instituted a 'longitudinal course' in orthodontics. It has meant changes to attitudes and working practices, and staff and students have been both flexible and open minded. Here, Andrew Richardson and Hill Mercer, outline the course, the contortions, and some of the problems that have been straightened out.

[Basis for designing a medical course curriculum].
This article sets forth the reasons for the structure given to the Division of Biology and Health on the Xochimilco campus of Metropolitan Autonomous University in Mexico: to adjust the university to the process of social change going forward in the country and gear the university to the problems of the present by avoiding the rigidity of its structure. The basic aspects of curriculum design are cited against a background of an historical analysis of the socioeconomic structure of education and health. The principles underlying the curriculum and the course work are then described on the basis of that analysis.
[Social research as applied to health].
The concepts that have influenced relations between the social sciences and health down the years are broadly analyzed. Various approaches to integration of the social sciences with medicine are described, including social sciences as the study of culture, social medicine, and medicine as a social science. In conclusion, it is suggested that the search for an alternative to the functional approach to health problems should begin with a redefinition of the aims of medicine. Some attempts along these lines are reviewed.
