ABSTRACT
This paper gives a brief historical review of herbal medicines in Jamaica-focusing on its practitioners through obeah, myalism and the balmyard system. It highlights the role of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, U.W.I. in exposing medical students to traditional medicine, and the philosophy of the Department as it supports this position. It submits aspects of research projects carried out by medical students on the subjects in years 11, 111 and 1V of community medicine clerkships, and concludes with relevant supportive comments by the co-ordinator of the year IV clerkship.
