Abstract
The faculty of Medicine of Mahidol University in Bangkok organized a community health program for medical students composed of 5 courses: health and demographic survey; analysis of community health programs; planning of community health care; clerkship in community health and internships in community health. These courses are organized to provide first hand experience for the student by enabling him to do field work. This consists of actually analyzing population problems, understanding the characteristics of the people whom the programs are designed to serve, and providing realistic solutions rather than theoretical ones. The effectiveness of this approach is best measured by the number of students who are engaged in voluntary projects designed to contribute to a solution of the population problem, and the interest they show in the community health program.
