Background: The subject of health promotion has yet to be established as core content in undergraduate medical curricula, despite calls from the medical education community and from the medical education community and from regulatory bodies such as the UK’s General Medical Council more than a decade ago. At the same time, concerns about the decline in popularity of teaching public health –are complex and linked, but, for health promotion, we argue that two factors are paramount: the nature of the discipline, and how it is presented as being relevant to undergraduate medical curricula, in particular those with integrated courses. Methods: Using the approach taken at one medical school as a case study, this paper discusses the factors surrounding health-promotion curricular development. It explores these challenges, including the relevance of health promotion to medical students, medical teacher, and medical practitioners. Results: These developments are linked to process and content and, therefore, to learning outcomes. Conclusions: There is a paucity of information from medical schools about their approaches to health promotion curricula content and teaching. This paper may provide schools with ideas for development of their won health promotion.
