Department of Community Medicine, teaching, 1973-95

Component identifier:

Series 5

Content Summary:

The teaching materials contained in this series are broadly described in the item headings below. As suggested previously, some intermingling of material, while useful in the description of Murrell's teaching processes, will be confusing to the reader. There are extensive course materials relating to 2nd and 3rd Year Medicine in the Community courses (MUO2/MUO3) from the mid-1970s. Murrell was instrumental in the design of these year levels, and, along with colleagues such as Bob Douglas, coordinated both 2nd and 3rd Years during his time with the Department of Community Medicine. The 2nd Year material covers teaching of epistemology, epidemiology, health economics and social analysis subjects, and arrangements for tutorial electives. The reader should note also that 2nd Year students took part in the Relationships in Community Health program, under the Foundation for Multi-disciplinary Education in Community Health, referred to in series 6. Third Year material represents social and preventive medicine, including arrangements with visiting lecturers. Material relating to Murrell's 6th Year teaching is included. This generally describes arrangements made for general practice preceptorships, country placements, and course material covering 'Patient management interviews', 'Viva' and 'Counselling teaching' subjects.

Immediate source of acquisition:
