Abstract

Internationally, the amount of time that medical students spend in community settings has increased in recent years. 'Longitudinal clerkships', which involve a prolonged exposure, are now common. In Ireland, medical education policy has promoted community-based education across medical schools, including one with a longitudinal clerkship of one semester duration.
