A total of 24 articles similar to the current study objectives were identified initially, of which 4 were excluded due to the unavailability of the complete version of the articles. Overall, 14 articles were selected based on the suitability with the current review objectives and analyzed. Keywords used in the search include community based medical education and community oriented medical education. The collected information is presented under the following subheadings, namely reasons for medical institutions involved in community based medical education, taxonomy of CBE, challenges in the implementation of community based medical education, steps for implementation the community based medical education, benefit to students.
