Identifying, Appraising, and Implementing Medical Education Curricula: A Guide for Medical Educators

Michael L. Green, MD, MSc

20 November 2001 | Volume 135 Issue 10 | Pages 889-896

As physicians' requirements for knowledge and skills evolve, medical educators often encounter the need for new curricula. This article presents an approach to identifying, appraising, and adapt-ing an established curriculum as an alternative to developing a new one. A published managed care curriculum is reviewed as an educational case example.
