Mission:
Competency-based
“Competency-based education is characterized by the development of
clearly defined and explicitly published competencies, mapping the
curriculum to achieve competencies, and assessment process matched to
competencies.” (Ron Harden, Medical Teacher 2002 #24 Vol. 2)
Curriculum inventory
Tufts staff helped to lead the creation of the curriculum
inventory standard
TUSK - comprehensive enterprise educational system –
implemented the standard
Having the XML and all that data was not enough
Specification for the Tool
Reuse the data already created/collected for the curriculum inventory
Create a human readable tool to view the curriculum
Create a tool to map and search and view where competencies are taught

Elements of TUSK used in mapping
1. Published competencies
2. Competencies linked across the curriculum
3. Content linked to Schedule (time/course)
4. Schedule linked to objectives and competencies
5. Courses linked to academic levels

Promoting alignment with
MedBiquitous Standards
and the AAMC Curriculum
Inventory
through an internal re-design of
PLFSOM's curriculum
management system

Challenges with Curriculum Management System
• Our Curriculum Structure was difficult to represent through
our CMS
• High level of frustration by IT and Academic key personnel
• Our Curriculum Structure did not map easily to the CI
Model
• Plenty of manual reclassification to solve mismatch of CI
data
• Large amount of personnel time proofing the CI Report
Curriculum Management System
• iLios v.1
o Acquired application code from UCSF in 2006
o Legacy programming
o Highly tailored to our integrated curriculum (not easily
replaced)
• Designing a new CMS to align to Curriculum Inventory
System
o CHAMP (Curriculum Hub And Management Platform)
• Use AAMC Staging Site to proof our
Curriculum Verification Report.
• CI Working group meet weekly to identify
CI reporting issues.
MedBiquitous Influences
• Adopted the following:
o Concepts and Vocabularies for:
o Instructional Methods
o Assessment Method
o Resource Types
o Mapped sessions ILOs to PCRS (Physicians Competency
Reference Set)
o Parent-Child structures for:
o Courses
o Sessions
o Learning Materials
Parent-Child Structure
When I was a kid my parents moved a lot…but I
always found them
--Rodney Dangerfield
• Advantage of Parent-Child courses and sessions
o Allows ‘nesting’ of courses and sessions
o Allow tracking and selection of the level at which we
report
o CHAMP allows representation of what we think and do
without the constraints of how our SIS (Banner) assigns
grades
Integrated Curricular Elements
• ICE (parent course)
• Curricular elements (child course)
o CEYE multi-course summative assessment
o CBSE formative assessments
o Yr2 and Yr3 OSCE summative assessments
o Longitudinal Surveys – ‘hidden curriculum
monitoring’ re. social determinants of health,
empathy
o Self-directed learning time
• Non-curricular elements (child course)
o Orientations
o Holidays
