But the curriculum was more attached to the disease and its drug medications rather than reflecting to proper guidance and advice for patients and main idea of “Community based rehabilitation”. Availability of specific textbooks and handbooks is limited, hence the trainings are held using international declaration, annual report or guidelines. Also the specialists who teach the subject were inadequate. Relating the due subjects, teaching methods were various, such as problem solving and small group discussion, case study etc., and students were evaluated bytest, case solving, essay writing and for School of Medicine, MNUMS they use OSCE. In conclusion, content of the “Community based rehabilitation” curriculum in undergraduate medical education is not adequate, indefinite, and discordant and there is lack of specialized teachers.
