Implementing Sex- and Gender-Sensitive Medical Teaching: Applying a Structural Stage Model for Curriculum Development

Sex-and gender-sensitive medicine (SGSM) remains insufficiently integrated into medical education, highlighting the need for both subject-specific content and structural embedding across curricula.This article offers a pragmatic approach for implementing SGSM using the Edu-GRAS stage model, which supports faculties in assessing their current status and planning next steps.To support practical application, the article provides concrete recommendations for embedding SGSM across subjects, and a use case of a curricular mapping conducted in an undergraduate clinical subject.Recommendations are provided for curriculum development, stakeholder engagement, and alignment with accreditation and quality assurance processes, positioning SGSM as a foundational component of equitable, evidence-based, and institutionally anchored medical education.
