Abstract
Choosing a career path for graduate students could be a big challenging
decision. It is often influenced by many other intervening factors such as, personality,
type the available specialty path, social and the list goes on. It is natural for many
freshly graduate medical students prefer to work in a medical facility with high technical
setting to gain the needed experience. This preference seems to transcend cultural
differences; it is noticed in different societies around the globe. Community based
education (CBE) could offer a more community oriented path for educating students,
motivate them, make them passionate about practicing in rural settings. This review
highlights the results of studies done regarding Community based education (CBE) by
different researchers with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Extensive internet
search has been done on research and experiments regarding Career Preference and
community based education. A positive association between the CBE and the choice of
students to work in rural areas has been reported. The feedback from students engaged
in this program was quite satisfying.
