6. CURRICULAR APPROACHES
(EVOLUTION OF MEDICAL
SCHOOL CURRICULA)
Discipline based model (1871)
Organ-system based model (1951)
Problem based model (1971)
Clinical presentation model (1991)
Competency based
Outcome based
7. Discipline based curriculum
Traditional approach
Discipline based with minimal
integration
Autonomous basic and clinical
department
Clerkships predominantly hospital
based
Preclinical knowledge precede clinical
Theory precedes application
8. Organ system- based
curriculum
Organized around body systems e.g
renal, CVS
Interdisciplinary course committees
Clerkships predominantly hospital
based
Clinical experiences introduced
early in curriculum
9. Problem based curriculum
Emphasis on problem solving
Content organized around patient
problems
Departmental structure is independent
of curriculum and course organizations
Interdisciplinary committees
Strong correlation toward primary care
Early clinical experience
10. Clinical presentation curriculum***
This model is based on the
various ways patients present to
physicians.
The contents are structured
around a clinical presentation
significantly enhance students'
development of clinical problem-
solving skills
11. Activity no 1
5 different WEEKLY SCHEDULES of MBBS/ BDS programs will be
distributed labeled:
A,B,C,D,E,
Identify to which curricular model does each of them
belong?
(Resource1)
12. Competency based
curriculum
CBME:
an outcome based approach to the design,
implementation and evaluation of medical
education programs, using an organizing frame
work of competencies
Curriculum is designed around competencies, and
emphasizes abilities
13. HOW DO YOU DISTINGUISH AN OUTCOME /
COMPETENCY?
An outcome is "what" you expect your students to
achieve, whereas a competency demonstrates
"how" your students can achieve that outcome.
Think of an outcome as
an end and a competency as
a means to that end.
