In 1972, the development of a health sciences education program, oriented to health rather than medicine alone, was initiated at UCB. Summarized in this report are the major activities of the first three years in the areas of: an M.S. degree in health and medical sciences; a "medical option" program designed to prepare students for advanced standing in medical schools; a mental health education program; a program in genetic advising; a dual degree combining the M.S. in health and medical sciences with another, not traditionally related field; undergraduate programs; and program governance. An organizational chart is included. (MSE)
