Abstract:
Public health competencies, especially as they relate to the management of chronic disease, will be of increasing importance to the global health-care workforce. The General Medical Council's recommendations on basic medical education have helped to entrench the position of public health and related disciplines. Tomorrow's Doctors has recently been updated. This article describes the indicative goals that should underpin the development of undergraduate medical education in public health, presented in a national statement. The statement was originally produced on behalf of academic departments of public health and related disciplines in UK medical schools. The dearth of evidence in this field leaves many questions for future educational research.
