“Community-Based Medical Education as a Catalyst for Strengthening Healthcare: A Hub and Spoke Partnership Model.”

Through this approach, postgraduate residents gain vital exposure to community health needs, while peripheral centers benefit from academic integration, research, and collaboration. The ultimate goal: to improve community health outcomes, reduce unnecessary referrals, and create a socially accountable medical education system.
