Summary: What implications on medical schools have HIV infection and AIDS, as the schools reshape their curricula to meet the General Medical Council's new requirements? (General Medical Council 1993). A recent Institute of Medical Ethics’ (IME) enquiry suggests:1 that each medical school should have a specific policy to coordinate teaching on HIV infection and AIDS, and to maximize students' clinical contact with patients who have the virus; and 2 that medical students should be encouraged to develop self‐awareness and skills in communication and ethics.
