Our ‘Curriculum’ theme considers ideas about how we should train future doctors. Through our work we seek to understand the concepts, mechanisms and evidence that underpins curriculum initiatives.  

Why is this important?  

Curriculum time is limited and ideas about what future doctors need to learn is changing and expanding. Generating quality evidence can support curriculum decision making.
