| Description | Curriculum design and implementation in higher medical education can be a great challenge. Although there are well-defined standards, such as the Curriculum Inventory and Competency Framework by MedBiquitous Consortium, existing systems are incapable of a visual representation of the various components, attributes, and relations. In this paper, we present the MEDCIN platform, a pilot tool which uses a standard-compliant curriculum data model to offer comprehensive and thorough analysis of a given curriculum. In addition, the ongoing research in challenging areas, such as the curriculum content comparison, can reveal valuable knowledge from existing data and transform the future of medical education. |
