TL;DR
Australia's Monash University has included in its core MBBS curriculum a non-clinical placement for second-year students, the Community Based Practice (CBP) programme, which involves partnerships with community organisations that are mostly non-medical.
Abstract
Placement programmes such as this can significantly contribute to medical education, especially in supporting health in local communities and understanding the needs of the marginalised.
