2021 Curriculum

The General Medical Council (GMC), in its 2017 report ‘Excellence by Design’ has stated that the curricula for all medical specialties must be revised by 2021. The revised curricula must:

• introduce Generic Professional Capabilities
• be structured round a limited number of ‘Specialty Learning Outcomes’ – activities that describe the work of an independent clinician in each particular discipline
• demonstrate stakeholder involvement in developing curricula
• reduce assessment burden and avoid a ‘tick-box’ approach

We have received final approval from the GMC for the submitted curriculum for 2021. The Curriculum Sub-Committee would like to thank all those in the wider EM community who fed in to the development by answering surveys, asking questions of the team, and providing feedback. The 2021 Curriculum is available in an interactive format via the bespoke RCEMCurriculum website.

A PDF version of the 2021 EM Curriculum is also now available for download.
