Full course description
Course Description
The Six-Step Approach was developed at Johns Hopkins to be a practical model for creating curricula in medical education. Since 1987, it has been used as the basis for a longitudinal training program where over 300 Johns Hopkins faculty and fellows have developed and implemented more than 130 curricula. Through over 130 workshops and a textbook now in its 4th edition, the Six-Step Approach has reached many more educators worldwide. In this introductory course, we hope to familiarize you with the basics of curriculum development so that you can begin to think of ways to improve existing curricula or advance new curricular ideas. Completion of this course will provide the necessary foundation for the additional training needed to develop true curriculum development expertise.
