Overview of curriculum map
• The medical curriculum at St Andrews is delivered via an online timetable
• We developed an online mapping tool which was based on the SDLO
• This was used to map all the taught elements of the medical curriculum
• Relatively straightforward – each taught element has a database entry
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
What do we do?
• We used our mapping tool to map each element of teaching to level four of the Scottish Doctors Learning Outcomes
What do we do with this?
• Once all of the teaching elements had been mapped to SDLO we could do several things:– Interrogate the data and see which LO were
covered (curriculum review)– Review the mapping against Tomorrow’s
Doctors LO

Level 4
Teaching elements that cover this level 4 learning outcome
Conclusions
• Mapping the curriculum to published learning outcomes (SD and TD) makes our curriculum visible to staff, students and examining bodies
• In addition it allows us to:– Review the curriculum– Identify overlaps and omissions– Manage the teaching time more effectively
