Curriculum Design for Medicine and the Health Sciences

The Curriculum Design Cohort is a 5-month program combining in-person workshops, independent work, and peer observation to help faculty develop advanced teaching and educational program design skills. Participants will learn to facilitate learners’ knowledge acquisition, design and assess curricula for educational programs and incorporate best practices for active learning and technology strategies into curricula. The goal of this cohort is to enhance and improve teaching skills and design a curriculum that includes evidence-based adult learning strategies, assessments, and programmatic evaluation. In doing so, faculty will develop greater autonomy in developing and maintaining educational programming.

Participants who successfully complete this program will receive a teaching endorsement from the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning
