TY  - JOUR
AB  - BackgroundSport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) is a growing speciality in the United Kingdom (UK). This growth has not been replicated in SEM teaching at an undergraduate level and SEM-related topics in schools of medicine in the UK are under-represented. As SEM continues to develop as a specialty it is important to consider how it is embedded at all levels of training. The aim of this project was to establish a consensus on SEM-related skills and knowledge relevant for undergraduate medical students in the UK, ultimately creating a curriculum of learning objectives (LOs).MethodsA modified Delphi survey was utilised to seek consensus on LOs suitable for incorporation into UK medical school curricula. An expert panel with adequate knowledge in the field was recruited. The initial curriculum was created by the research team using already established postgraduate SEM curricula. All learning objectives were sent to the expert panel for opinions in phases. Levels of agreement and comments made by the expert panel were reviewed after each phase until a consensus on each learning objective was made.ResultsThe expert panel was made up of 45 individuals, with 35 also completing phase 2 (78% retention rate). The initial curriculum contained 58 learning objectives separated into 9 themes. In phase 1 31% (18/58) were accepted outright, 48% (28/58) were altered and 19% (11/58) were rejected. Two additional learning objectives were added. Of the 49 LOs included in phase 2, 98% (48/49) were accepted. The final curriculum was made up of 9 sub-themes and 48 LOs.ConclusionSport and Exercise Medicine is a broad ranging and rapidly growing speciality. It is important to establish SEM education in all levels of medical education, including undergraduate level. This is the first published version of a Delphi SEM curriculum for undergraduate medical teaching.
