Community based course could be used in many medical schools

Responding to the General Medical Council's recommendation for community based learning for medical students, Lennox and Petersen (p 596) developed a new course for third year students at Leicester University that enables students to understand the lifestyle, perceptions, and priorities of patients, and also the roles of other community agencies. Questionnaire feedback (from students, patients, and community organisations) was positive. The authors believe the course could be used in other medical schools.
