A systematic approach to medical technology curriculum development.

A systematic approach to medical technology curriculum development resulted from a multidisciplinary, federally funded, competency-based curriculum development project in the School of Allied Medical Professions at The Ohio State University. This approach includes processes for identifying medical technology competencies, evaluating the effectiveness of an ongoing curriculum, and developing a domain-referenced framework for organizing, sequencing, evaluating, and updating the requisite professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
