The paper, entitled "Medical students as global citizens: a qualitative study of medical studentsโ€™ views on global health teaching within the undergraduate medical curriculum", is based on a small-scale qualitative study with UCL(University College London) medical students. It aimed to explore Year 5 medical studentsโ€™ knowledge and learning about global health issues, as well as their wider perspectives on its relevance to their professional development. The work builds on DERC(Development Education Research Centre)โ€™s long-term interest in global issues within the initial training and professional development of a number of key global professions, such as teaching, medicine and engineering.
