In the ‘Results & Discussion’ section, ‘General Characterisation’ sub-section, where it reads “We identified 23 programmes delivering relevant teaching in BMHI in Portugal. A characterisation of all programmes is summarised in Table 6. Regarding main area of education, nine programmes (39%) were classified as having BMHI modules as part of ‘Medical, Nursing, Health Care Management, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Public Health’ (MNHDPP) programmes, whereas eight programmes (34.8%) were classified as dedicated educational programmes in BMHI. The remaining six (26.1%) were classified as having BMHI modules as part of ‘Informatics, Computer Science Programs and Engineering’ (ICSE) programmes - Table 4.” should read “We identified 24 programmes delivering relevant teaching in BMHI in Portugal. A characterisation of all programmes is summarised in Table 6. Regarding main area of education, nine programmes (37.5%) were classified as having BMHI modules as part of ‘Medical, Nursing, Health Care Management, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Public Health’ (MNHDPP) programmes, whereas eight programmes (33.3%) were classified as dedicated educational programmes in BMHI. The remaining seven (29.2%) were classified as having BMHI modules as part of ‘Informatics, Computer Science Programs and Engineering’ (ICSE) programmes - Table 4.” In the ‘Results & Discussion’ section, ‘General Characterisation’ sub-section, where it reads “Overall, most of the programmes identified were taught in public higher education institutions (20; 87.0%), mostly within universities (13; 56.5%), at a master's level (13; 56.5%).” should read “Overall, most of the programmes identified were taught in public higher education institutions (21; 87.5%), mostly within universities (14; 58.3%), at a master's level (11; 45.8%).” Tables 4–8 should be updated as per below.
