Abstract		From the history of children health care in Slovenia it can be seen, how programs, activities and institutions in this field changed with changes of technologies and social values. however, health goals (maximal health, maximal quality of care and maximal accessibility of services) remained the same. This developmental view is also the perspective in which the school medicine can be evaluated. Because of the biological and social charactristics of young people the classical schoolchildren health indexes do not comprise all health needs of this population. health effects, caused by heterogenous and intensive risk factors to which schoolchildren are exposed, do not become obvious before the adult age. This characteristic of problems requires in first palce the detection of the risk factors and preventive measures in context of school education, interpersonal relations within family, specific needs of young people and coordination of various activities for youth. School medicine is a specific field that can manage health-related problems, if acting from the social medicine standpoints on the primary health care level. For the accomplishment of sociomedical legacy of school medicine clear national programs, determined public health competences and specially qualified physicians are required. School medicine is (not only in Slovenia) tied between the clinical pediatrics on one hand and the social medicine/public health on the other. Appropriate integral placement of school medicine inside this frame is a challenge for the Slovenian as well as for the European health care and broader social policy.
