In this session, we will discuss some of the common resources (e.g. people, space, technology, tools, and governing structures) needed during almost any curriculum change process. We will highlight potential mistakes leaders make when embarking on curriculum renewal without considering these infrastructure needs. We will provide a general framework for thinking about the kinds of resources you may need when embarking on a curriculum change initiative and discuss ways you may be able to estimate the associated costs. We will discuss the importance of negotiating appropriately to secure resources and infrastructure and how to pivot if those resource needs cannot be met. Using the recent curriculum renewal process at Washington University School of Medicine as an example, we will provide details of the infrastructure required and answer questions from audience members about their planning processes and potential resource needs.
The AAMC is committed to providing inclusive sessions for all learners/participants. All sessions will be close-captioned. Please contact Kaitlyn at curriculum@aamc.org to request additional accommodations.
