Abstract

![CDATA[Transition from campus-based to clinical learning creates a critical juncture in a medical curriculum. At Western Sydney University, this juncture occurs in Year 3 and is signified by a shift from scheduled, problem based learning style to immersive, opportunistic learning. In our teaching of Social Determinants of Health, students shift from lectures and class-based group work to immersion in placements at community-based health services in the 10-week Medicine in Context (MiC) program. This immersive program enables students to learn directly from communities about the broader context of health and illness.]]
