During the three weeks of vacation from the sixth semester of medical school in May 1982, a group of six students and a professor in the Department of Social Medicine of Valle University, Colombia, conducted a voluntary experimental exercise in some of the rural primary care units of Tuluá Regional Hospital in Valle del Cauca department, using the hospital's Administration as their operational center. The purpose of the exercise, called "Ruralito," was to compile a health census of the general characteristics of the rural communities constituting the primary health care service area. The teaching process employed was designed to encourage the students to act on their own initiative and in their own way and to exchange experiences and plan measures even after completion of the three years of the exercise. The article describes the salient features of the relationship between teaching practice and public health practice in this first exercise, in which a new instructional framework was introduced for the area of medicine; the students' highly favorable reaction to this exercise and the substantial gains made justify the expectation that it will serve as an example for future student exercises in similar processes.
1982年5月，来自哥伦比亚瓦莱大学社会医学系的六名学生和一名教授利用医学院第六学期的三周假期，以图卢阿地区医院行政管理部门为运营中心，在考卡山谷省图卢阿地区医院的一些农村初级保健单位开展了一项自愿实验活动。这项名为“小乡村”的活动旨在对构成初级卫生保健服务区的农村社区的总体特征进行健康普查。所采用的教学过程旨在鼓励学生主动采取行动并以自己的方式行事，即使在三年活动结束后，也要交流经验并制定措施。本文描述了这次首次活动中教学实践与公共卫生实践之间关系的显著特征，此次活动为医学领域引入了新的教学框架；学生们对这次活动的高度积极反应以及所取得的显著成果，让人有理由期待它将成为未来类似过程中学生活动的典范。
