Objective:
This scoping review aims to explore existing literature related to structural competency and how this concept is being implemented and evaluated in health sciences programs. The secondary aim is to examine and summarize any documented outcomes related to structural competency training.
Introduction:
Structural competency is a concept that was introduced in 2014 to train pre-health and health professionals to understand the broader structures that influence health outcomes. Studies have shown structural competency training is beneficial to health science students. To address health outcomes at the population level, students should collaborate with other disciplines to address the larger structures that influence health.
Inclusion Criteria:
This scoping review will consider studies that include health science programs that implemented or evaluated structural competency training for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postgraduate trainees.
Methods:
The key databases to be searched include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, Europe PubMed Central, PsycINFO, and ERIC. The search for unpublished studies will include ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, PapersFirst, and OpenGrey. Studies conducted in English, in any year, setting, or geographical location will be included. Two independent reviewers will perform retrieval of full-text studies and data extraction. The results will be presented in diagrammatic or tabular format with a narrative summary.
