Abstract
Despite the high prevalence of skin complaints in primary and secondary care, dermatology undergraduate (UG) education remains inconsistent across medical schools. The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) published a revised national undergraduate curriculum in 2016 to guide UK medical schools on minimum competencies required in dermatology. A curriculum mapping study was conducted to determine the alignment of the BAD UG curriculum with the dermatology curriculum of the University of Nottingham (UoN) School of Medicine. Of the 70 intended learning outcomes (ILOs) for dermatology in the medical school, 55 (79%) were mapped to the BAD curriculum, 14 (20%) required modifications to align them with the BAD ILOs, 2 BAD outcomes were unspecified in the current curriculum, and 1 outcome overlapped with others and was deemed redundant. Curriculum mapping is a useful tool to standardise local dermatology ILOs to national recommendations and provides transparency to stakeholders for implementation of the dermatology curriculum.
