Abstract
The diseases seen by doctors working in an out-patients clinic at the Rural Health Centre, Igbo Ora, are analyzed. Medical students who work in such a setting can gain a more realistic appreciation of the relative importance of diseases to the community than if their experience is confined solely to a teaching-hospital; thus, the endemic parasitic diseases assume a much greater importance than cardiovascular, neurological or neoplastic diseases.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
