Synopsis

Written by highly respected educationalists Harden, Harden, and Lilley, Creating a Curriculum for Student Engagement: Key Ideas for Health Professions Education is a practical guide covering the essential considerations of curriculum making. Using a unique approach, the authors provide a new mental model for planning and implementing a curriculum. Focusing on five stages of student engagement-interest, commitment, facilitation, futureproofing, and assessment-readers are offered numerous practical ideas from creating authentic and inclusive curricula through selecting and organising content, applying educational strategies, implementing new technologies, and embedding assessment for learning. Whether in medicine and healthcare professions or postgraduate and continuing education programmes, empower yourself and your curriculum design, development, and implementation teams to foster an environment where future clinicians are successfully trained to meet the needs of the communities they aim to serve.
