Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Identifying all stakeholders in undergraduate medical education is crucial. This study reveals a broader range of stakeholders and diverse priorities, highlighting the need for improved engagement in curriculum design.
Area Of Science
- Medical Education
- Qualitative Research
- Systems Thinking
Background
- Undergraduate medical curricula involve formally recognized stakeholders, but their full range and perspectives are often overlooked.
- Previous studies have not comprehensively identified stakeholders or explored their understanding of the medical education system and curriculum composition.
Purpose Of The Study
- To identify stakeholders in undergraduate medical education using systems thinking.
- To explore stakeholders' understanding of the medical education system.
- To examine stakeholders' views on curriculum composition and priorities.
Main Methods
- Exploratory qualitative methodology.
- Participant recruitment via General Medical Council stakeholder list, convenience, judgmental, and snowball sampling.
- Data collection through semistructured interviews, followed by descriptive coding and thematic analysis.
Main Results
- Interviewed 18 participants on their perspectives of stakeholders, educational purposes, and curriculum subject weightings.
- Identified a broader range of stakeholders than formally recognized.
- Themed educational purposes into: safe patient care, social benefit, service provision, student benefit, and provider benefit.
- Safe patient care was a universal purpose, but views on the 'customer' varied.
- Curriculum priorities showed diversity and competing interests, with divided views on the value of scientific learning.
Conclusions
- Undergraduate medical education involves a wider array of stakeholders than typically engaged.
- Current engagement practices may not fully capture vital stakeholder perspectives or power dynamics.
- There is a need to reassess stakeholder engagement and roles in future curriculum development.

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
Problem: Patient care is organized around issues identified or nursing diagnoses in the PIE system. Each problem is labeled with a "P" followed by a number....
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
