Abstract
It is necessary to offer medical students a wide spectrum of patients with diverse disease problems to make their training relevant and prepare them sensibly for their profession. In order to evaluate the situation at the HF Verwoerd hospital (in the outpatient section of the Family Medicine Department) where the medical students of tbe University of Pretoria get most of their training in ambulatory care, relevant data was collected over a period of 6 months in 1993. On the basis of this survey, and in comparison with similar studies (eg in Australia) it was concluded that the patient population with its disease profile at this institution, is sufficient for under-and post-graduate medical training.
