TL;DR
CBE teaches future physicians how to function as health care providers in underserved communities and curricula in Nigeria are not providing adequate education in the implementation and analysis of results of a community health intervention.
Abstract
CBE teaches future physicians how to function as health care providers in underserved communities. CBE curricula in Nigeria are addressing most, but not all, of the validated CBE generic objectives. Most notably, the curricula are not providing adequate education in the implementation and analysis of results of a community health intervention.
