Abstract

Curriculum co-creation is a collaborative process where students and faculty jointly design curricula and pedagogical strategies. While it promotes innovation, engagement, and mutual learning, there is limited methodological detail on how students are actively involved, particularly in health professions education. This scoping review aims is "to explore existing literature to identify key components of co-creation" where students and faculty share decision-making in curriculum, assessment, and teaching methods. The guiding research question is: "What key components of co-creation in higher education are reported in the literature?" The review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology, using a three-phase search strategy across Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. It will include qualitative and quantitative peer-reviewed articles, dissertations, and grey literature published in English over a period of 10 years. Studies involving passive student roles, unpublished or non-English sources, will be excluded. Extracted data will be synthesised to identify core components of co-creation. Findings will inform the development of a structured implementation framework and be disseminated through medical education journals and conferences.
