Abstract

Introduction

Curriculum development in medical education, particularly in family medicine, is essential for preparing healthcare professionals to meet evolving patient needs. This article examines the development of a Family Medicine program in Jordan, focusing on challenges, methodologies, and outcomes.

Methods

The curriculum was developed through collaboration between Jordanian and European universities, emphasizing core family medicine principles, evidence-based practice, and local context. Two cohorts of trainees participated in the one-year program, which used a 'whole task learning model' covering communication, clinical knowledge, and community health. Feedback was gathered through focus group interviews with trainers and trainees, and pre- and post-test data were analyzed to assess effectiveness in terms of exam outcome.
