Abstract
A course is described which presented views, to fourth year students in psychology, on the contributions that the psychologist potentially can make to community health as practitioners working collaboratively with a range of other professions in the health care System. Drawing upon contributions from other disciplines a broad range of views were described and evaluated. Data were available from student evaluations of the course and these are presented to point to future developments which may occur and to give others in the field guidance to the choice and interpretation of topics in the teaching of psychologists for a role in community health.Keywords
