• Why do we “manage” curriculum?
• What’s your educational framework?
• How can we plan to be flexible and
adaptable?
3. Why Manage Curriculum?
• Complete and accurate picture – W4
+H
• Benchmarking, teaching effort and reporting
• Identify gaps and unintentional redundancy
• Deliver content to online course
• Build community and educate faculty
• Facilitate interprofessional curriculum
• Facilitate evaluation process
5. What is your educational framework?
• Courses, Sessions, Activities
• Topics, Learning Modalities, Keywords
• Program Objectives and Course Objectives
• Competencies
– E.g. ACGME, CanMEDs, The Scottish Doctor, etc.
• Milestones and Entrustable Professional
Activities (EPAs)

25. What can we achieve?
• Evidence-based quality improvement
• Identification of gaps and redundancies
• Shared vocabulary in the health professions
community
• Flexibility to adapt to new educational models
Other goals: Facilitate curriculum development Increase faculty collaboration Improve integration Identify and close knowledge gaps Identify and eliminate redundancy Build ownership and community among diverse faculty
Community : How do faculty and administration communicate with students, and distribute course materials when they are dispersed across various teaching sites? Manage learning materials: Track teaching effort: Educate teachers: How can faculty teaching in small-groups access course information beyond their area of their expertise? 09/28/13
UCSF enforces a 1:∞ relationship between competency and program requirement, and between course objective and program requirement. When an objective fulfills multiple programmatic objectives, a decision must be made on which carries the most weight/significance within the curriculum. This allows us to exponentially reduce the level of noise within the data collected. It also provides a baseline for the necessary aggregation of clerkship activities and representation of integrated curriculum blocks.
