At the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, London, an integrated course in epidemiology and sociology for preclinical students was introduced in 1979. The course--Population Studies--is taken by the 100 second-year medical students in the summer term before they enter their clinical years. It occupies one full day and one half day each week for 8 weeks--approximately 80 hours of tuition. Population Studies is unusual in two respects. Firstly, it introduces a substantial amount of epidemiology into the preclinical curriculum. And, secondly, this is the only London medical school to integrate the teaching of sociology and epidemiology into the one course.
1979年，伦敦皇家自由医院医学院为临床前学生开设了一门流行病学与社会学综合课程。该课程——人口研究——由100名二年级医学生在进入临床学习前的夏季学期修读。课程为期8周，每周占用一整天和半天时间——大约80小时的教学时长。人口研究在两个方面与众不同。其一，它将大量流行病学内容引入临床前课程。其二，这是伦敦唯一一所将社会学和流行病学教学整合为一门课程的医学院。
