With the launch of an innovative app, curriculum mapping is more efficient than ever.
About the App
In collaboration with the UBC Faculty of Medicine’s Digital Solutions EdTech team, the UBC Family Practice Residency Program created a user-friendly and standardized curriculum mapping tool that is consistent across all of our distributed training sites. It is used to map the site-level curriculum to the Program’s expected common curricular outcomes, despite of any variability in curriculum design across training sites. The resulting end product is our Family Medicine Residency Curriculum Mapping App, which has been implemented across the program and its training sites since February 2022.
This tool allows for site-level curriculum maps to be filled out in real-time. It not only directly informs training sites about their curricular strengths and/or deficiencies, but also allows the central program to conduct further curricular data analysis in order to determine where curricular gaps may exist and where resources could potentially be shared across training sites. Read more about the benefits below.
- Includes user-friendly, efficient and standardized online mapping process.
- Eliminates the need for Excel spreadsheets to be filled out for curriculum mapping.
- Simplifies mapping process and can be completed in shorter amount of time.
- Automatically creates real-time site-level and program-level curriculum reports and dashboard visualizations that assist training sites and the central program in gathering data on strengths, redundancies and/or deficits in curriculum delivery.
