Abstract
Despite doubling of the lifespan because of scientific #medicaleducation; inequities in healthcare provision exist.Inadequate priority
to
community’s #health needs in undergraduate medical curricula could be one
of the contributors. Aga Khan University, Pakistan pioneered
community-based #undergraduatecurriculum for addressing community’s
health needs. This paper assesses relevance and appropriateness of
this undergraduate #medical curriculum to community’s health needs.This
study has used a framework, consisting of three major parameters
including public health concepts, major #publichealth problems and
attributes, to assess the relevance and appropriateness of Aga Khan
University’s undergraduate curriculum to community’s health needs.This
assessment revealed that for relevance and appropriateness to
community’s health needs, the curriculum hasto be community-based.The
community-based experiential learning helps students to identify
context-specific health needs and develop culture-sensitive practices.
