Abstract
The aim of this article is to suggest new ways of medical sociological research in particular in relation to modern institutions providing medical care and training facilities. An attempt has been made to describe the characteristics of socio-medical research in the past. It is argued that traditionally most research in this field in Africa was concerned with subjects like the system of traditional medicine in the various ethnic groups and cultural and social factors related to health and disease. This article discusses the need to investigate the modern medical treatment units, the training centres and the medical profession in order to be able to assess whether the pattern of medical care and the training system is well-adapted to the political and social requirements of the country.
