A model for design of health administration curriculum and instruction

Faculty members in health administration programs as in other professional programs tend to be trained in content appropriate to their field rather than as educators. Enhancement of the teaching skills of faculty will potentially improve the quality of the students' educational experience. Of particular note is the tendency of faculty to teach at the basic knowledge level and expect students to perform at the application and problem-solving levels. The purpose of this paper is to aid faculty in health administration improve their teaching activities and student evaluation. This goal will be accomplished through presentation of a model for systematic design of curriculum application of this model at the course and lesson levels.
