The intention is to increase the quantity, quality, and retention of graduates with specific skills addressing the health needs of their populations. While many MEPI programs include elements of community-based education (CBE), such as community placements, clinical rotations in underserved locations, community medicine, or primary health care, the challenge identified by MEPI-supported schools was the need for appropriate approaches and tools to evaluate these activities. This article, co-authored by Rebecca Bailey and Heather Ross of Capacity<em>Plus</em>, outlines the process of identifying tools that, with modification, could assist in the evaluation of CBE programs in participating MEPI schools.</p> Community-Based Education Education and Training Medical Education Partnership Initiative Preservice Journal Articles Education and Training Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:03:55 +0000 david 1547 at https://www.capacityplus.org
