The core curriculum is set out as learning outcomes, but does not specify educational methodologies, teaching delivery or assessment methods, recognising that individual schools have their own requirements. This curriculum, based on the results of a Delphi study, sets out the minimum that we believe should be achieved by all UK medical undergraduates.

Some additional learning outcomes, identified as important but not essential in this study, are listed in a second document. You might wish to add some of these to your basic core.

You can look at the BAD 2020 revised UG Curriculum for information on curriculum design, learning and teaching assessments, and course evaluation below.

The General Medical Council (GMC) plans to introduce a national Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) in 2024 for all UK medical students as part of their primary medical qualification, with dermatology specified in its assessment blueprint. We present an update to the British Association of Dermatologists’ Undergraduate Curriculum, aligned both to the MLA Content Map and the GMC Outcomes for Graduates 2018. This can be downloaded from the CED journal.

The other documents on the site can be downloaded and adapted to suit your needs. They include learning resources (logbooks), teaching resources, assessment tools (OSCE stations) and course evaluations. If you have material that has been evaluated positively by students that you would like to share with other teachers, please submit it to education@bad.org.uk
