Community-based education (CBE) is the means of achieving educational relevance to community needs. The Integrated Field Training, Research and Rural Development Program (IFTRRD) is a course designed to achieve CBE in Faculty of Medicine, University of Gezira since its establishment in 1978.We aimed to study CBE from Gezira medical students’ perspective regarding the IFTRRD course.
