Concluding Commentary. Life Sciences in an Integrated Medical Curriculum: Continuing the Conversation

Abstract

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. In our opening editorial, we contrasted the time devoted to delivering the Life Sciences curriculum, as a part of medical training, with the limited attention given to it within the medical education literature ( Jennings & Keenan, 2017). In our experience, there are also few opportunities to present and discuss Life Sciences at medical education conferences and perhaps within the wider medical education community. We therefore started this conversation to provide a forum for consideration of the integration and delivery of Life Sciences teaching within medical curricula.

Keywords: Anatomy; Integrated Curriculum; Life Sciences; Student Partnerships.
