This article describes some of the factors that have been involved in the development of a medical sociology course in a revised undergraduate curriculum in the University of Dundee. The course content and the educational techniques used are discussed. The aim of the course is to give a sociological perspective on medicine which it is hoped will be of value to medical students whatever their future careers may be.
