  5. The term wasn’t around when the QABME process began The first visits were pilots for the subsequent “live” visits The GMC continually updates the QA process, in response to feedback The term “curriculum map” has gradually crept into usage during the last 2 years What does the GMC understand by the term “Curriculum Map”?

  6. It has come to mean several different things Different Visiting Teams may well be using the term in different ways The latest institutions being visited have been asked specifically for a curriculum map in their QABME submission The earlier institutions were not Hence there is much confusion! The GMC slant on curriculum mapping

  7. a broad timetable of the 4/5/6 year programme a course outline, laid out in years and blocks of teaching, in nice, pretty colours, to make it easy for the visitors to get a broad view of the whole course 1. an overall diagram of the whole course

  8. A VLE resource which the Visitors can access so that they can find where specific curriculum components occur in the curriculum 2. A Search Tool

  9. Disciplines such as anatomy, psychology, medical ethics, public health Topics which are likely to appear throughout the curriculum such as cancer, infection, hormones Specific topics such as eye movement, immunosuppression, breaking bad news, penis envy ….. and what might they search for?

  12. A curriculum map showing how students build up their learning in a sequence such as DNA → genes → oncogenes → cancer → staging → clinical features → treatment → oncology → palliative care → dying Examples?

  13. Epithelial cells → skin → eczema → atopy/allergy → infections → airway damage → wheeze → asthma → history-taking and examination → respiratory function tests → treatment → use of inhalers → compliance → living with a chronic disease → social effects → status asthmaticus → emergency treatment And another …
