Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Science Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Professional Competencies

Background:

  • Rapid advancements in biomedicine necessitate updated training for biomedical scientists.
  • Current educational programs require careful planning to meet evolving laboratory methodologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a consensus-based core curriculum for biomedical scientist education.
  • To identify essential competences for recently graduated biomedical scientists.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Delphi technique with a panel of 26 biomedical laboratory experts.
  • Experts anonymously suggested and assessed competences, reaching consensus at >=75% agreement.

Main Results:

  • A core curriculum comprising 66 competences across three categories was finalized.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Competences included basic laboratory methods, scientific knowledge, and professional attitudes.
  • The curriculum is structured for a three-year program with elective options.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed curriculum provides a foundational framework for biomedical scientist training.
    • The established core curriculum is traditional and may not encompass all future-critical professional skills identified in recent reports.
