This document discusses needs assessment and its importance in developing a curriculum for health professional education. It outlines a 6-step approach to curriculum development, with the first step being problem identification and general needs assessment. This involves gathering information from various sources to understand current health needs and how the ideal curriculum could better meet the needs of learners, patients, and society. The second step is a targeted needs assessment of the specific learners, which involves determining their previous training, existing skills and deficiencies, and learning preferences. Characteristics of the learning environment must also be considered. Conducting a needs assessment in this thorough manner helps ensure the curriculum strongly links health professional education to public health needs.
