Process

1. Map Curriculum

What are we teaching?  Which disciplines and competencies are being covered?  How much are we covering?

2. Analyze Student Learning & Outcomes

 Are students learning what we think they should be from a variety of learning experiences?

3. Administer Performance-Based Patient Assessments

How well do students transition from knowledge to application?

4. Analyze Pre-Clinical and Clinical Experiences

Can students successfully perform in the field based on the concepts learned in the classroom?

5. Curriculum Review

What should we change with our curriculum to improve performance?
