Does community-based education come close to what it should be? A case study from the developing world: Students' opinions

Abstract

Students' opinions yielded more in-depth information on the CBE programme evaluated and facilitated formulation of recommendations for improvement of that CBE programme.

A survey validation of generic objectives for community-based education in undergraduate medical training

“…Preferably the validity of the framework and the derived generic CBE objectives should be enhanced by application in a variety of conditions. For example, the preliminary set of generic CBE objectives were recently used as a reference to evaluate an existing CBE programme in a medical curriculum (Kristina et al, 2005;Kristina et al, 2006a) and to design a modified version of the same programme (Kristina et al, 2006b).…”

Beyond the ward and waiting room: A community-based non-clinical placement programme for Australian medical students

“…They tend consequently to focus on patientcentredness, sensitivity to the social context of patient health and interprofessional approaches to medicine, with some reference to professional clinical skills such as communication and empathy for patients. Howe (2002) clearly articulates these typical purposes, especially as they apply in CBME in developed countries, while Goswami et al (1998), Iwama de Mattos et al (1998) and Kristina et al (2006) do the same thing in the context of CBME in developing countries. Notable differences in purpose given for some programmes include meeting the health needs of an impoverished community (Nazareth 1999), developing participatory community-based research (Goodrow & Meyers 2000), exploring concepts unusual in traditional medical education such as 'community diagnosis' (Davison et al 1999), or providing students with experience of continuity of care in community settings (Worley et al 2000).…”

“…These have tended to focus on general practice or other primary care facilities and on ambulatory care. Notable examples of such work include programmes in the United Kingdom such as at the University of Glasgow (Davison et al 1999), the United States of America, such as Del Rio Project at East Tennessee State University (Goodrow & Meyers 2000), Indonesia at Diponegoro University (Kristina et al 2006), South Africa at the University of Transkei (Nazareth 1999) and Australia at Flinders University (Worley et al 2000). These and others all share a focus on placements with primary care providers.…”

Eksplorasi Permasalahan Dalam Implementasi Community-Based Education Di Fakultas Kedokteran

“…Implementasi CBE di negaranegara berkembang seperti di Afrika dan Asia, dilaksanakan dengan mengirimkan mahasiswa ke daerah-daerah pedesaan, sarana pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat primer atau ke komunitas tertentu. Kristina, et al, (2006) melakukan penelitian terhadap kegiatan yang dilakukan mahasiswa meliputi mengidentifikasi masalah, mencari solusi intervensi bersama masyarakat, melaksanakan sampai mengevaluasi hasil intervensi.…”
