A scoping review of medical education and care of patients with criminal-legal system involvement
Our findings demonstrate a perceived need for training regarding the care of patients with CLSI. However, current published educational interventions rely on clinical exposure to patients with CLSI and lack an explicit curriculum and rigorous learner assessments. Development of core competencies utilizing the frameworks of structural competency and prison abolition theory may help inform future educational interventions regarding the care of patients with CLSI.
