Integration of science into the medical curriculum: what can we learn from the experiences of individuals?
Integration can be defined as “mixing practice with knowledge” and this approach has been influential in the development of the spiral/integrated curriculum currently adopted in many UK medical schools. Integrated methods, such as the presentation of science knowledge in a clinical setting, has been shown to enhance student engagement and facilitate preparation for practice. Thus increasingly, biomedical knowledge, which provides an important framework for clinical reasoning, is taught within the context of clinical information (e.g. problem-based learning, PBL). Faculty are key drivers in the implementation of integration within the curriculum and therefore need to feel included and involved in developments. There is the danger that ignoring groups of staff may lead to disengagement and impede progress. Using qualitative research methods, interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), my project aims to explore the experiences of academic staff that teach physiology within the medical curriculum.

Bringing LGBTQ+ voices into curriculum: A medical education perspective
LGBTQ+ identifying patients experience discrimination in healthcare and this appears to be related to healthcare professionals’ attitudes, knowledge and experiences as well as medical curricular. There is however little consideration of the role of medical education professionals in this relationship. Therefore here, the author turns the spotlight onto to teachers and curriculum developers to consider how we as a profession think about LGBTQ+ identity and the impact this has on the curriculum we produce in medicine. Approaching the problem from a post-structural and queer perspective the author uses feminist post-structural discourse analysis (FPDA) to analyse multi-task focus groups of medical education professionals in one institution in the UK.
