Overview of curricular management

Element 8.1 —Curricular Management

What: The LCME requires that faculty of a medical school engage in curricular revision and program evaluation to maintain and enhance the quality of the medical education program. Coherence includes the logical sequencing of curricular segments, coordinated content across periods of study and methods of instruction and assessment appropriate to the student’s level of learning and to the program’s objectives.

Why: Through ongoing curriculum management, we ensure that medical students achieve all program objectives and participate in required clinical experiences and settings.
