Making Medical Education Courses Visible: Theory-Based Development of a National Database
This study proposes a novel method for sorting and visualizing medical education courses and the competencies they cover to provide an easy-to-use database, helping medical educators' practical and scholarly development. Notably, our analysis identified a specific emphasis on undergraduate teaching settings, potentially indicating a gap in postgraduate educational offerings. This aspect could be pivotal for future curriculum development and resource allocation. Our method might guide other countries and health care professions, offering a straightforward means of cataloging and making information about medical education courses widely available and promotable.
