  • Title: Preventive care in general practice.
    Author: Silagy C, Sommer S, Piterman L.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1992 Mar 16; 156(6):404-8. PubMed ID: 1545747.
    Abstract:
    Preventive care is an integral component of general practice teaching in all Australian medical schools. While curriculum time and teaching methods vary, the overriding emphasis remains on integrating both epidemiological and behavioural science approaches into the primary care setting. Preventive aspects are stressed during attachments with general practitioners. Use of appropriate theoretical frameworks and models allows the role of the general practitioner in disease prevention to be formalized. Undergraduate teaching is further reinforced by programs within the Family Medicine Programme at a vocational training level, and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners at a continuing medical education level.
