A Manifesto For Medical Training in the Edgelands

In December 2025, we conducted a workshop with stakeholders in medical education and training at the 6th Developing Excellence in Medical Education Conference (DEMEC). From discussion and a rapid priority-setting exercise, we co-created a series of recommendations for training in underdoctored areas – the manifesto for the edgelands.
