Final‐year students' perspectives on socially responsive curricula in medical education: A qualitative case study

This paper argues that although the curriculum is an important aspect in developing social responsiveness in students, other aspects, such as the health system and what the student brings should also be considered. Additionally, the students should be considered co-constructors of their learning and key role players in transforming curricula to be socially responsive and contextually relevant.

Abstract

This paper argues that although the curriculum is an important aspect in developing social responsiveness in students, other aspects, such as the health system and what the student brings should also be considered. Additionally, the students should be considered co-constructors of their learning and key role players in transforming curricula to be socially responsive and contextually relevant.
