Abstract
This paper summarises some of the key points raised at a workshop held in 1993 on the new undergraduate medical curriculum. At the workshop, the General Medical Council's recommendations were summarised, and examples were presented of current undergraduate courses which met them. There was widespread support among workshop participants for psychiatrists having an expanded role in the new curriculum, beyond a single clinical attachment, particularly in the teaching of communication skills and in collaborative teaching with other medical specialties.
