Abstract:
A new Bachelor-Master curriculum in Biomedical Sciences was created at the University of Geneva in 2017. As we organized the new curriculum, we discovered the usefulness of learning objectives. This goal-oriented approach of teaching proved essential to determine the overall structure of the teaching program, as well as the content of specific courses, and the nature of the examinations.
