Summary An integrated course in Preventive and Community Medicine was introduced at the Christchurch Clinical School, New Zealand in 1974. Details of the fourth and fifth clinical years as well as the elective studies in the trainee intern (sixth) year are presented. The implications of the topic studies, rotating attachments, preventive medical examinations, preventive medical ward rounds, problem‐orientated record studies, simulated disabilities and Clinico‐Pathological Conferences are discussed. Some preliminary conclusions are drawn from the evaluation of this course.
