EDUCATION: Curriculum Development
Five capabilities were developed by the Global Health Curriculum Group to guide the curricula of postgraduate health professionals in the UK. This work was commissioned by the Academy of Royal Colleges’ International Forum.
These capabilities are mainly targeted towards doctors, but may be tailored to the training needs of other health professionals, of undergraduate students and of health professionals and students in other countries. The five core capabilities, which are of equal value and priority, are interrelated. Each one is relevant to all UK postgraduate health professionals, impacting on both day-to-day practice, clinical leadership and advocacy roles. Further details including key knowledge areas and practice examples for each capability are available in the full report, available on request.
