Curriculum Dean/Administrator Workshops
Curriculum Dean/Administrator Workshops are full-day interactive sessions that provide an
additional opportunity to medical school curriculum deans and administrators to learn about
the MedAPS Suite of Services, with a focus on the Curriculum Inventory; talk about daily
support of curriculum committees and faculty; and share ideas on how to get the most from
their local curriculum management systems. While there are planned presentations on
curriculum mapping, benchmarking, and support of curriculum committees, each group
also has the opportunity to request specific content for the workshop.
These workshops are also great opportunities for curriculum staff who are not able to
participate in regional GEA meetings or wish to ask questions, request assistance, and/or
brainstorm in a small group or one-on-one setting and to allow all participants to network
and make contacts for collaboration that are also helpful when there are issues with
systems, processes, initiatives, etc.
The host school provides a continental breakfast and light lunch for the 10-15 participants.
In addition, the host school can arrange the workshop so that it occurs in proximity to a
curriculum committee or faculty meeting, so a separate presentation/discussion can be
scheduled for faculty at that institution.
If your school would like to host a Curriculum Dean/Administrator Workshop, please
contact medaps@aamc.org.
CI Standardized Vocabulary Revision

of receiving therapeutic, diagnostic, or preventive procedures. [Mesh “patient”]

photographic film) following examination of any part of the body for diagnostic
purposes by means of X-RAYS or GAMMA RAYS [borrowed from MeSH
“radiography”]
CI Standardized Vocabulary Revision
•
Ultrasound: The visualization of deep structures of the body by
recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed
into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic
purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10
megahertz. [MeSH for “ultrasonography”]
•
Animation: A film or video wholly or partially created by
photographing drawings, sculptures, or other inanimate things in
sequence to create the illusion of motion. Animations are also
generated by computers. [MeSH for “animation” as publication

CI to ASSET Pre-population
•
Societal Problems:
• Previous DCI asked schools to provide specific examples of
societal probems: family violence, substance abuse, racial
bias, socioeconomic issues, etc., but current DCI asks for
examples without requiring specific content.
• Solution?
• Keyword with the term 'Societal Problem'
• Event name, description, and/or objectives will need to
specify the issue being presented to provide details for
ASSET pre-population and other CI reporting.

Curriculum Data Elements
•
•
•
•
Competencies – PCRS
School Objectives
Keyword List
Course and Clerkship Objectives – Coded for Knowledge, Skills,
and Attitudes
• Established mapping relationships for all levels of objectives
System Overview
• OASIS is our curriculum software system
– Implemented Q1 of 2013
– Uses include curriculum inventory, scheduling (including
lottery), course and clerkship evaluations, patient logs,
clinical performance evaluations, and reporting for all of
the above
• Moodle – Learning Management System
• iSEEK - embedded web application that enables students,
faculty, and staff to perform “smart” content searches in
Moodle
Process for Data Collection
• Establish data scope, inputs, sources, and roles
– All M1 & M2 Courses; All M3 & M4 Clerkships and Sub-Internships; Electives are
out-of-scope at this time
– Course inputs for setup (name, number, dates, student groups, objectives,
access, short name, color coding for calendar)
– Event inputs include 29 data fields; we use 21
– Data sources – Moodle, Syllabi, Course and Clerkship Directors (as needed)
– Course/Clerkship Directors own and provide the data; Medical Education inputs
data into OASIS
Interaction with Course/Clerkship Directors
• Develop all Course/Clerkship Level Objectives
– Start with a verb
– Include the common threads, i.e., professionalism
– Coded by knowledge, skills, and attitudes
– Map up to at least 1 School Objective
• Ensure the development and consistency of all Event
Objectives and keywords – work with other faculty
– Start with a verb
– Consider no more than 5 per instructional hour
– Each one maps to at least 1 Course/Clerkship Level
Objective
Interaction with Course/Clerkship Directors Continued
• Compare current academic year objectives to previous
academic year objectives – note any changes
• Work with Directors for new or modified objectives to
map or re-map, keywords, etc.
• Create a report called the ‘Course/Clerkship Map’ for
their validation of the data prior to the submission for CI
• Once uploaded to CI, send out various report versions for
their final data validation and approval for final
submission
Mapping Considerations
• Perform analysis of horizontal and vertical mapping
– School objectives should all map to at least 1
Course/Clerkship objective
– Likewise Course/Clerkship objectives should all be mapped
to at least 1 session objective
– What’s the breakdown of Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes?
• Mapping consistency –
– Does a common course objective map to the same school
objective?
– Does the mapping of an objective that hasn’t changed stay
the same or can the mapping change?
Other Questions
• Formative and Summative Assessments
• Tagging Assessments with Keywords or Objectives
• Available Learning Assessment Methods from MedBiquitous
sometimes limited, i.e. essay assessments – writing reflective
papers is scored (reflection is an Instructional Method),
writing essays has no option, currently using participation
