The overall aim of social and community medicine training (iSOCO) in undergraduate medical, dental surgery and pharmacy curriculum is to develop patient-centered and community-oriented professional health care providers. iSOCO is a longitudinal module introducing students to social and community medicine. It will prepare them to understand the basic principles of social and community health care, which they will need within the practice of medicine, dental surgery and pharmacy. The module is divided into five main sections (Population Health, Health Systems, Social Medicine, Communication skills and Professionalism) that are further divided in key elements. Year 1 will be used as an introduction to the five sections. This will be continued in years 2, 3 and 4.
