Methods used and lessons learnt in conducting document reviews of medical and allied health curricula – a key step in curriculum evaluation

Abstract: BackgroundThis paper describes the process, our experience and the lessons learnt in doing document reviews of health science curricula. Since we could not find relevant literature to guide us on how to approach these reviews, we feel that sharing our experience would benefit researchers embarking on similar projects.MethodsWe followed a rigorous, transparent, pre-specified approach that included the preparation of a protocol, a pre-piloted data extraction form and coding schedule. Data were extracted, analyse… Show more

“…This period of change to the curriculum provides a window of opportunity to introduce, strengthen and integrate multifaceted EBHC teaching and learning with assessment [39,42]. The process starts by assessing the current curriculum [43,44], and moves on to working with lecturers and programme convenors to plan pre-clinical and clinical EBHC learning, getting institutional buy in, and enhancing the competencies of the trainers to facilitate learning and, most importantly, acting as role models [45,46]. In the course of these activities, academic institutions can benefit through sharing best practices and using robust evaluations alongside implementation.…”
