RESUMO
There are inadequacies in the practice-readiness of junior doctors for providing acute care in areas of clinical deterioration. In addition, the existing undergraduate curricula are fragmented in how acute care is taught in medical schools. We propose twelve tips for developing a systematic acute care curriculum, including what to teach, how to teach it and, how to assess. Furthermore, we propose and incorporate an acute care learning dashboard as an assessment tool which collates and demonstrates the occurrence of learning, faculty feedback, and students' reflection. We also summarise the existing online resources available for acute care training. We hope to address the existing issues and improve acute care training to prepare the graduates to become practice-ready professionals.
