Also health providers, educators need to remain sensitive, while training public health, clinical medicine about things beyond. We have collected information about teaching training of public health with clinical medicine and concepts beyond. Methods: Information was collected by simple review with help of different search engines. Results: There is void of guidance on practice-based teaching for personal health with public health. Socio-environmental determinants of health strongly interact with demands of everybody's life. For all medical conditions indicated, treatments are prescribed, but many unanswered questions remain. Answers are searched in gadgets, forgetting that, in medicine there is much room for judgments which help in re-adaptation to demands of life. Also many barriers exist in achieving practice-based teaching with public health for social justice. Conclusion: Public health teachers need to provide linkage of public health issues of disease to symptoms, signs, prevention, cure. Clinical teachers need to link the same to public health issues of disease. Public health education needs to be a shared enterprise with clinical teaching in health professionals' schools, who have mission of teaching, service, research for populations. In addition to caring for those who seek services, gaps between academia, practice, public health need bridges so that personal health as well as public health are ensured for healthy communities. Amalgamated teaching training of clinical medicine, public health, concept of social justice, accountability, and vision beyond for health wellness, needs to be mission of medical schools.
