Summary. The World Health Organization's strategy, Health for All by the Year 2000, presents a challenge to those responsible for training doctors. Doctors are needed who are concerned to promote health not just treat disease. A review of the medical undergraduate curriculum is required to achieve this. We describe a small step towards this by the restructuring of a community medicine teaching programme so that students are introduced to health promotion and the principles of Health for All.
