Mapping the curriculum to published learning outcomes: a systematic tool to review course content Bute Medical School University of St Andrews
Overview of curriculum map • The medical curriculum at St Andrews is delivered via an online timetable • We developed an online mapping tool which was based on the SDLO • This was used to map all the taught elements of the medical curriculum • Relatively straightforward – each taught element has a database entry
Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
What do we do? • We used our mapping tool to map each element of teaching to level four of the Scottish Doctors Learning Outcomes
What do we do with this? • Once all of the teaching elements had been mapped to SDLO we could do several things: • Interrogate the data and see which LO were covered (curriculum review) • Review the mapping against Tomorrow’s Doctors LO
Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
Conclusions • Mapping the curriculum to published learning outcomes (SD and TD) makes our curriculum visible to staff, students and examining bodies • In addition it allows us to: • Review the curriculum • Identify overlaps and omissions • Manage the teaching time more effectively
