In the image foreground, traditional health professions pre-registration curriculum design meetings often happen in physical spaces, at set times with set agendas.\u00a0 The results are the same types of people contributing in a set way. This is a particular challenge in broader health research where those contributing as curriculum stakeholders, specifically patients with lived healthcare experience, are often white, retired middle-class individuals 1<\/sup>. Therefore, through the processes adopted, the homogenous voices are captured as the voice of everyone.<\/p>\n

In this image, crowdsourcing is a digital tool depicted by the \u201ccomputer\u201d at the top of the ramp 2.<\/sup>\u00a0 Here a diverse group of individuals can join in and have their say on curriculum design at a time and place that works for them.\u00a0 Thus, the heterogeneous characters outside the walls are diverse, representing the broad spectrum of people who ultimately will be cared for by those undertaking health professions educational programmes 3.<\/sup><\/p>\n
