Objective. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a methodology for the incorporation of clinical practice guidelines into therapeutics modules as a form of curricular planning, assessment, and evaluation. Methods. This proposed methodology was demonstrated using a hypothyroidism module. Clinical practice guidelines were used as a way to provide structure, as well as to prepare students to meet the current standard of care. Using a rubric constructed from course objectives in conjunction with clinical practice guidelines, the curricular content of the module was evaluated. The main outcome measure was performance on a hypothyroidism case study. Results. The hypothyroidism module did not meet all expectations for student performance when compared with course objectives and practice guidelines. Conclusion. This proposed methodology could be used with a variety of disease states in curricular planning and revision efforts.
