Abstract:
Although great changes have already been made to medical education in Japan, the public health system urgently requires a paradigm change in the educational model. Recently, changes in the concept of public health have been proposed as “New Public Health” based on the World Health Organization's Health Promotion Movement in developed countries. We defined the core concepts and basic theories of New Public Health and have evaluated the validity to New Public Health of the community-based public health education model used since 1978 at Shimane Medical University. We have also established an educational environment that supports the development and dissemination of the model.
