Curing the Curriculum

Curing the Curriculum – Students’ Take on Medical Education We are international medical students in the Netherlands, engaging in conversations about what medical education is - and what it could be. We ask: What should medical education look like? And what did the curriculum forget to teach us explicitly? So please join us on a journey towards more care, more humanity, and a curriculum worth shaping together. Get in touch via email: hi [At] curemeded.com & follow us on Insta @curingthecurriculum

  Episode #15

  Why is there bread in my feedback? Liz Molloy on feedback literacy, trust and clinical learning #CTC15

  Aug 12, 202651 min

  In this conversation with Liz Molloy we cover the paleo case against the feedback sandwich, why emotions in feedback are not a problem to be managed away, how trust is earned one dip of the toe at a time, and why the student who stayed behind to put the blanket back over the patient may be the most valuable person on the ward. Liz is Pro Vice-Chancellor of Curriculum at the University of Melbourne and has collaborated extensively with Rola Ajjawi, Margaret Bearman, David Boud and David Carless - and her work is all about feedback literacy.

  Episode #14

  When the curriculum walks through the door: Lucie Walters on rural generalism and clinical courage #CTC14

  Jul 14, 202644 min

  What is clinical courage? How do we push our boundaries without becoming reckless, and how do we grow into it as students and doctors? In this episode we sit down with Professor Lucie Walters, a rural generalist in Mount Gambier, South Australia. She explains clinical courage when your community has nowhere else to turn. Lucie walks us through the mnemonic she and her team built for doing this safely, reframes courage as a community act rather than a cowboy one, and shares some surprising findings about working at the edge of your scope. We also dive into longitudinal integrated clerkships. Instead of speed-dating through specialty blocks, students spend up to a full year in one rural community where, as Lucie puts it, "the curriculum walks through the door." She explains why interleaving beats block rotations, how supervisors turn into lifelong mentors, and why students on LICs report better wellbeing than their hospital-based peers.

  Who gets to wear the white coat? Inequity from lecture hall to clinic: Soumeya Mezian & Lianne Mulder #CTC12

  May 12, 20261h 13mS0

  <p>Find a healthcare provider in the Netherlands who speaks your language on https://ikspreekmeerdan.nl/</p> <p>Who gets to wear the white coat, and what does that ultimately mean for the people across from them? Look around a Dutch medical lecture hall, then look around a medical waiting room. The pictures don't match. So where are people leaking out of the pipeline to medical professional, and why does it matter for excellent patient care? We talk to Soumeya Mezian (medical student and multilingual translator) and Dr. Lianne Mulder (sociologist, PhD) about the Moroccan patient whose vitamin D was...

  Form vs. feedback - from rituals to relationships in the clinic: Rola Ajjawi #CTC11

  Apr 14, 202640 minS0

  <p>Why does filling out feedback forms feel like a ritual nobody believes in? What if the most powerful feedback you ever received wasn't on a form at all?</p> <p>In this episode, we sit down with Professor Rola Ajjawi - physiotherapist turned feedback researcher, professor of medical education at the University of British Columbia, and editor-in-chief of Medical Education. Rola takes us inside the science of feedback cultures: why surgery and ICU produce wildly different learning conversations, how emotions can freeze or fuel your growth, and why starting with "what's your goal today?" might matter more than any...

  Mar 17, 202659 minS0

  <p>“Climate change presents a fundamental threat to human health.” (WHO). Everyday we are confronted with discussions about being more green. But is that really a topic that a doctor should care about? At least our expertise lies elsewhere.</p> <p>Luise Bödecker and Lukas Radema joined us for this episode to give a comprehensive overview about why we indeed should care. With a lot of passion, combined with philosophy and a research background in the field of planetary health they explain why it is ok to be hypocrite, how doctors react to being confronted with the underlying science, how w...
