Gap Assessment and AI Based Quality Enhancement In Medical Curriculum: CIPP Framework

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:                                                                         

A well-designed curriculum is a backbone of medical education as it aligns learning outcomes, teaching/learning strategies, and assessment to ensure attainment of knowledge, clinical skills, professional behaviors and attitudes within the learners. The aim of the current study is to evaluate and redesign the curriculum of one of the leading medical institutes of Pakistan by identifying its strengths and gaps and designing a more robust plan for corrective measures.

METHODOLOGY:

The current study employed the CIPP framework as the main evaluation model incorporating Harden’s SPICES and 11 steps Integration model as well. The current study identified gaps in 5 year MBBS UHS curriculum and further artificial intelligence based quality enhancements tool proposed to bridge this gap.

RESULT:

The current study emphasizes use of AI assistance for evaluation of curriculum and quality enhancement. The study found UHS curriculum at 6-7 level at Harden’s 11 steps integration model and proposed for employment of AI synchronization model for vigorous improvement in integration throughout the curriculum.

CONCLUSION:

A comprehensive curriculum evaluation should be performed for incorporation of latest hi-tech advances in medical education. Artificial Intelligence based AI synchronization model proposed in the current study could efficiently and effectively improve teaching, learning and assessment.
