| Abstract: | Community-based medical education (CBME) addresses real-world health problems and is characterized by its emphasis on reciprocity and collaboration with community stakeholders. Limited evidence shows that CBME is an effective learning strategy to care for underserved communities. However, medical schools and nursing schools struggle to implement CBME in their curriculum. In this article, we present four practical examples of CBME from medical and nursing schools in Belgium and the Netherlands. By taking the lessons learned derived from these practical examples into account, all students can have an authentic learning experience within the community, which empowers community members and increases their health.
