Curriculum Mapping, Identifying Curricular Gaps, Competency-Based Assessment
Nursing programs have numerous competencies to produce proficient nurses. A recent change in curricular design standards prompted re-evaluation in program delivery.
We will discuss how faculty moved from a concept-based to a competency-based curriculum. Faculty needed to meet multiple standards with course activities. This exercise mapped course activities to a variety of requirements.
After mapping course outcomes and activities, the faculty are ready to embark on curricular redesign to address gaps in the current curriculum. The goal is to create a more comprehensive educational program that is focused both on knowledge and emphasizes action based on clinical judgement.
