Abstract:
1) Many medical schools in Australia are adopting curricula that encourage medical students to understand the community and the importance of community-based medicine.
2) Flinders University has successfully created and implemented a curriculum in which medical students spend time in small community hospitals and clinics during their third year.
3) Although there are many types of community-oriented medical education, we must consider what kind of medical education would increase the quality of community medicine in Japan.
