Learning objective: Accreditation, standardization and development of (interprofessional) medical curricula requires mapping them to outcome frameworks. Common frameworks are roles of a physician, entrustable professional activities, catalogues of learning objectives encompassing knowledge and skills or simple lists of diagnoses and symptoms. The Swiss ‘Principal Relevant Objectives and Framework for Integrative Learning and Education in Switzerland‘ (PROFILES) and the German national competency-based catalogue of learning objectives (Nationaler Kompetenzbasierter Lernzielkatalog Medizin, NKLM http://www.nklm.de) combine several aspects of the abovementioned. Mapping curricula to these two outcome frameworks is often based on subjective assessment. In order to minimize subjectivity and increase comparability of results it is therefore necessary to standardize this process within the implementation of these catalogues at Swiss and German faculties.
Workshop participants will develop concepts for interdisciplinary and interprofessional curriculum development and curriculum mapping on the basis of PROFILES and NKLM.
Course of the workshop: The organizers will present a short overview of experiences with implementation of PROFILES and NKLM as well as related experiences with curriculum mapping. Participants will define their own needs for curriculum mapping, conceptualise their own maps and visualise them. Each organizer will supervise a small group of participants during the entire process. The workshop will conclude with examples of maps and take-home packages.
Target group: Professionals and educators working in the field of curriculum development and/ or in faculty administration.
Preparation: Not necessary
