A new peer-review process improved medical school curriculum quality and collaboration. This systematic approach enhanced understanding of course content and fostered interdisciplinary communication across campuses.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Previous internal course reviews lacked standardization and data sharing.
  • Limited communication led to disparities in curricular content between campuses.
  • A need existed for a systematic process to enhance curriculum quality and collaboration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a systematic course/clerkship peer-review process.
  • To improve course quality, curricular understanding, and interdisciplinary communication.
  • To facilitate data collection for accreditation and curriculum monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • A two-tiered review process was established: limited annual and comprehensive triennial reviews.
  • The Office of Medical Education (OME) and Education Council committees oversaw the process.

  • Comprehensive reviews involved course directors, faculty subcommittees, and student input over 6-8 months.

    • Main Results:

    • Eleven required courses have completed comprehensive reviews.
    • Identified and addressed curricular disparities and opportunities for collaboration.
    • Student-rated satisfaction improved in reviewed courses.

    Conclusions:

    • The systematic peer-review process has successfully improved curriculum understanding and collaboration.
    • Initial resistance to external review was overcome.
    • The annual review process requires enhancement due to perceived lack of depth.
