Objective: This scoping review aims to map and characterize the integration of One Health competencies into medical curricula, along with the associated outcomes, challenges, and supporting factors. Introduction: Equipping future health professionals with One Health competencies is crucial amid ongoing health threats at the human-animal-environment interface. Addressing these challenges requires multidisciplinary collaboration, yet medical education lags behind other fields in integrating One Health, limiting awareness and readiness for interprofessional work beyond the human health sector. The extent of One Health integration into medical curricula remains unevaluated. Eligibility criteria: This scoping review will include both published and unpublished research, as well as non-research articles, that describe/evaluate courses, modules, or learning activities designed to develop One Health competencies within undergraduate or postgraduate medical curricula. These initiatives must engage medical students, residents, or both, either exclusively or alongside students from other disciplines. This review will include sources in any language from 2008 onward. Sources reporting continuing professional development, extracurricular activities, educational outcomes, implementation challenges, and supporting factors in general terms will be excluded. Methods: This review follows the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. Searches will be conducted in PubMed (including MEDLINE), Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC (ProQuest), SpringerLink, and will include gray literature sources, such as Google, Google Scholar, thesis repositories, and One Health University network websites. Two reviewers will independently screen sources and extract data following a pilot test for each stage. Analysis will include frequency counts, thematic analysis, competency mapping, and evidence synthesis using a logic model. Review registration: OSF https://osf.io/gt3ru
