Teaching primary health care: some lessons from Zimbabwe.
A new teaching programme for fourth-year medical students in child health in Harare, Zimbabwe is outlined. A 2-week attachment to a rural district-level hospital is intended to orient the students to primary health care and to the practice of clinical medicine in a low resource environment. The attachment has become popular with students and it is hoped that it will improve attitudes of teaching staff in the medical school towards primary health care.

Diagnosis of intestinal duplication by 99Tcm-pertechnetate scanning.
A case is described of a 19-month-old boy who presented with melaena. Intestinal duplication was diagnosed by 99Tcm-pertechnetate scanning and was confirmed at operation 2 years later, when the child was admitted with intestinal perforation. The technique is a reliable, non-invasive method for diagnosing ectopic gastric mucosa and is recommended in all cases of unexplained rectal bleeding in children.
An objective undergraduate clinical examination in child health.
A new type of test used to examine medical students' clinical skills in paediatrics is described. Each student has to circulate round a number of timed stations. At each one he performs a specified clinical procedure--such as history taking, physical examination, urine analysis, and radiological interpretation--and is marked according to his performance. This type of test is objective and can be extended to cover different aspects of clinical methods; it readily informs the student about his progress, and enables the teacher to look critically at his own technique.
