[Education in public health sciences at the faculty of medicine at Tampere].

A large public health institute - one of the three at Tampere - handles the instruction in subjects related to behaviour and community medicine. The students meet patients already in the first term during the group instruction, take part in educational visits, and work for several different periods with the health and sick-care services. In the third year, 30 hours are devoted to a course on the doctor-patient relationship.
