If all physicians can be role models in health promotion, the Health for All Movement will have a better chance of success.

To be an effective role model in health promotion, physicians should have a clear concept of health and disease.

To be an effective and credible health management planner, physicians should not only have a clear concept of health and disease, but they should also be practicing what they preach. Being role models in health promotion contributes to credibility.
