Overview

• Why do we “manage” curriculum?• What’s your educational framework?• How can we plan to be flexible and

adaptable?

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

Teaching Hours By Topic/Modality

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)
