There is great concern about the selection and quality of health college graduates and about their ability to respond to local community health needs. Community-based medical education (CBME) is a means of achieving educational relevance to community needs. In KSA, medical education has rapidly progressed in tandem with huge expansions in community health needs and expectations. This study aimed to assess the perceptions of the faculty members of the colleges of medicine and dentistry towards different concepts reflecting CBME.
This analytical, observational and cross-sectional study used a self-administered questionnaire that was given to the faculty members of the colleges of medicine and dentistry at Taibah University, KSA.
As many as 136 faculty members responded, a response rate of 64%. The percentage of agreement was strongest among the faculty members of the college of medicine. The study findings also showed a relationship between different concepts of CBME and faculty teaching experiences by academic positions for applying CBME. There were significant differences in the social, cultural, and ethnic aspects of medical practice.
CBME is a means of achieving educational relevance to community needs and consequently serves as a means of implementing a community-oriented education programme.
人们高度关注健康专业院校毕业生的选拔、质量及其满足当地社区卫生需求的能力。基于社区的医学教育（CBME）是使教育与社区需求相关的一种方式。在沙特阿拉伯王国（KSA），医学教育随着社区卫生需求和期望的大幅增长而迅速发展。本研究旨在评估医学和牙科学院教职员工对反映CBME的不同概念的看法。
本分析性、观察性横断面研究使用了一份自填式问卷，该问卷发放给了沙特阿拉伯王国泰巴大学医学和牙科学院的教职员工。
多达136名教职员工做出回应，回应率为64%。医学院教职员工中的同意率最高。研究结果还显示了CBME的不同概念与教职员工在应用CBME方面按学术职位划分的教学经验之间的关系。医疗实践在社会、文化和种族方面存在显著差异。
CBME是使教育与社区需求相关的一种方式，因此是实施以社区为导向的教育计划的一种手段。
