This longitudinal track aims to expose students to the concepts of preventive healthcare at the population and individual level, with emphasis on the epidemiology of common communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as on vulnerable groups. It also aims for students to gain an understanding of the influence and relevance of behavioural, social, cultural, environmental and economic factors that will assist in their promotion of health and management of illness as future doctors.
This is not a comprehensive subject guide, but rather a selective list of materials that are most useful for this longitudinal track.
