But they have been criticised for focusing too heavily on a relatively narrow biomedical skill set, and the transferability of such programmes to people with low health literacy and/or complex personal or social circumstances has been questioned [ 5, 16, 17].
About a quarter of the medical student cohort are graduates who enter the programme at Years 2. The curriculum in Years 2 and 3 focuses on biomedical science knowledge, clinical and professional skills, with limited exposure to clinical settings.

Competent practitioners in the health care professions are developed not only through the acquisition of the biomedical knowledge and clinical skills necessary to provide high-quality, effective services but also through the development of an integrated knowledge structure in an active and personal way [ 1– 4].
We conclude that biomedical and behavioral science trainees' acquisition and thoughts about SciComm skills play a significant and independent role in their intentions to remain in research careers.
Abhijit Kulkarni, the vice president of research and technology at Advanced Bionics, a cochlear implant company based in Valencia, California, says that scientists at the company benefit from skills in biomedical, electrical, or biomechanical engineering that help researchers translate basic findings into products that change lives.
