Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This excellent educational guide is a concrete step-by-step approach to creating a rotation or cuuriculum in medical education." -- Jo Ann Rosenfeld, M.D., Family Medicine

"Thoughtful, to the point, and an excellent primer for faculty members who find a curriculum development project in their duties and responsibilities." -- Linda Distlehorst, Ph.D., Teaching and Learning in Medicine

"The authors, from the fields of General Internal Medicine, describe universal ideas that should be helpful in curriculum development in general internal medicine as well as general pediatrics, family medicine, other specialties, and nursing, whether at the medical student, resident, or other trainee level. With an ecumenical spirit, the authors examine the work of leaders in education from various disciplines, and thus the book is a useful guide in curriculum development for all medical educators." -- William Reichel, M.D., Clinical Professor of Family Medicine, Georgetown University School of Medicine

"Demonstrates a unique approach to use of a curriculum framework to address educational problems at any stage of health professional development, and including education of patients and institutions. Learner friendly, includes review questions, exercises, bibliographies, and training and funding sources. An excellent basic text for any of the health professions." -- Barbara K. Redman, Ph.D., R.N. F.A.A.N., Dean and Professor, University of Connecticut School of Nursing and Former Executive Director, American Nurses Association

"A detailed, comprehensive guide to this critical process in medical education." -- Kelley M. Skeff, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine and Principal Investigator, Stanford Faculty Development Program

"Defining curriculum as a planned educational experience, this book builds on the best experience from other fields of health education, both in and out of the hallowed halls of higher education, and with a health educator as a co-author with two highly qualified physicians. It comes to print at a time when medical education seems poised for just such an antidote to conventional pedagogic methods." -- Lawrence W. Green, Dr.P.H., Director, Institute of Health Promotion Research, Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of British Columbia, Vancouver

Reseña del editor:

At a time when society is demanding accountability from the medical education system and residency review committees are demanding written curricula, this book offers a practical, yet theoretically sound, approach to curriculum development in medicine.

The approach described in Curriculum Development for Medical Education has evolved over the past ten years, during which time the authors have taught curriculum development and evaluation skills to faculty and fellows in the Johns Hopkins University Faculty Development Program for Clinician-Educators. Program participants have used the techniques described here to develop curricula on topics as diverse as advance directives, office gynecology for the generalist, a renal elective for internal medicine residents, and an office-based preceptorship for first-year medical students.

Short, practical, and generic in its approach, the book begins with an overview of a six-step approach to curriculum development. Each succeeding chapter then covers one of the six steps: problem identification; targeted needs assessment; goals and objectives; education methods; implementation; and evaluation. Additional chapters address curriculum maintenance, enhancement, and dissemination. Throughout, examples are used to illustrate major points. An appendix provides the reader with a selected list of published and unpublished resources on funding, faculty development, and already developed curricula. Curriculum Development for Medical Education is designed for use by program directors and others who are responsible for the educational experiences of medical students, residents, fellows, and clinical practitioners.
