Stakeholder involvement in emergency medicine curriculum design is crucial. Differing perspectives on learning objectives between students and senior doctors highlight the need for open discussion to ensure effective curriculum development.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Design
  • Stakeholder Engagement

Background:

  • Understanding stakeholder perspectives is key for effective curriculum design.
  • Previous research has not fully explored differing viewpoints on learning objectives within medical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate core curriculum design and stakeholder involvement in an undergraduate emergency medicine program.
  • To analyze the diverse perspectives on learning objectives among students, house officers, senior doctors, and nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted 12 focus group interviews with 88 participants (students, house officers, senior doctors, nurses).
  • Utilized content coding, condensation, categorization, and qualitative content analysis of interview transcripts.

Main Results:

  • Stakeholders found their involvement essential but held significantly different views on objectives: theory-based rules (students) vs. practice-based guidelines (senior doctors).
  • House officers exhibited mixed perspectives, and concepts like competence were inconsistently interpreted.
  • Differences in perspectives on objectives and competence can lead to misunderstandings in curriculum design.

Conclusions:

  • Novice and expert perspectives on learning objectives diverge significantly.
  • Recognizing and incorporating these differing viewpoints into curriculum design is essential for effective outcomes.
  • Open discussion among stakeholders is recommended to establish a common understanding for curriculum development.
