Abstract
This review presents a systematic approach to curriculum development, divided into five steps: 1) perform a needs assessment, 2) define the goals and learning objectives, 3) identify resources, 4) develop educational strategies and implement the curriculum, and 5) evaluate and modify the curriculum. Although the curriculum developmental stages are presented in five ordered steps, curriculum development is actually a dynamic, interactive process, in which development of one step naturally affects other steps. Learners are central to this process, and with each step, the instructor needs to be mindful of the learners' needs and prior experiences, using a variety of educational strategies to reach trainees with different learning styles.
