Several "calls to action" have imposed upon medical schools to include physical activity content in their overextended curricula. These efforts have often neither considered medical education stakeholders' views nor the full complexity of medical education, such as competency-based learning and educational inflation. With this external pressure for change, few medical schools have implemented physical activity curricula. Moreover, Canada's new 24-Hour Movement Guidelines focus on the continuum of movement behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep). Thus, a more integrated process to overcome the "black ice" of targeting all movement behaviours, medical education stakeholder engagement, and the overextended curriculum is needed. We argue for co-production in curriculum change and offer five strategies to integrate movement behaviour curricula that acknowledge the complexity of the medical education context, helping to overcome our "black ice." Our objectives were to investigate 24-Hour Movement Guideline content in the medical curriculum and develop an integrated process for competency-based curriculum renewal. Stakeholders were equal collaborators in a two-phased environmental scan of 24-Hour Movement Guideline content in the Queen's University School of Medicine. Findings and a working curriculum map highlight how new, competency-based content may be embedded in an effort to guide more relevant and feasible curriculum changes.
多项“行动呼吁”要求医学院校在其本就安排得满满的课程中纳入体育活动内容。这些举措往往既未考虑医学教育利益相关者的观点,也未顾及医学教育的全部复杂性,比如基于能力的学习和教育膨胀问题。面对这种要求变革的外部压力,很少有医学院校实施体育活动课程。此外,加拿大新的《24小时运动指南》关注的是运动行为的连续体(体育活动、久坐行为和睡眠)。因此,需要一个更综合的过程来克服针对所有运动行为、医学教育利益相关者参与度以及课程安排过满等方面的“黑冰”问题。我们主张在课程变革中进行共同生产,并提供五种整合运动行为课程的策略,这些策略认识到医学教育背景的复杂性,有助于克服我们的“黑冰”问题。我们的目标是调查医学课程中的《24小时运动指南》内容,并为基于能力的课程更新制定一个综合过程。在对女王大学医学院的《24小时运动指南》内容进行两阶段的环境扫描中,利益相关者是平等的合作者。研究结果和一份现行课程地图突出显示了如何嵌入新的、基于能力的内容,以努力指导更相关且可行的课程变革。
