Development of a Competency-Based Orientation Training Curriculum for Surgeons in Equatorial Guinea

Abstract

This review explores the development of a competency-based orientation curriculum for surgeons in Equatorial Guinea. Surgical training in the region faces significant challenges, including a lack of standardized curricula, inadequate resources, and limited access to advanced medical education. By integrating competency theory, this article proposes a curriculum design framework tailored to the country’s specific context. The review focuses on key components such as curriculum content, teaching methodologies, assessment mechanisms, and their practical applications, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to improve surgical healthcare services. The findings provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for enhancing surgical training and ultimately improving healthcare outcomes in the region.
