Undergraduate curricula in family medicine at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem Medical Schools.

The concepts and methods of the teaching programs in family medicine for undergraduate medical students at the Sackler School of Medicine in Tel Aviv and the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem are presented. Undergraduate teaching of family medicine at Tel Aviv is concentrated in a three-week clerkship in the final clinical year. Field observation of a family doctor's work demonstrates the spectrum of disease in the community, and the special concepts of family medicine are introduced at small group seminars.
