An Exploration of Inclusion Health Teaching in the Undergraduate Medical Curricula - how appropriate for practice is the ‘inclusion health’ training received by medical students and what do advocates for inclusion health communities’ suggest should be included in the curricula to enhance service delivery.

Inclusion health—addressing the needs of marginalised and minoritised communities—remains an underdeveloped area within UK medical education. While awareness of the impact of social determinants on health outcomes is growing, gaps in training and professional knowledge persist, limiting effective engagement in community settings. Empirical literature remains sparse, though civil society and practitioner-led resources are emerging¹. A 2022 Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) evaluation² highlighted the need for faculty development and co-designed curricula to better prepare professionals to work with excluded populations and enhance workforce employability in this field. Despite increased attention to race, intersectionality, and structural exclusion, the extent to which inclusion health is embedded in medical curricula remains unclear.<p></p>
