Although alcoholism is not dealt with as a stand-alone module in university faculties of medicine, it does feature as an important issue in a broad range of courses taken by undergraduate medical students, including, behavioural science, pharmacology and psychiatry. Furthermore, students encounter alcoholism as an issue, such as it arises, in the cases they deal with in clinical practice.
