Justification and aims of the project: The increasing need for information on different medical universities on a world-wide scale without the hassle of using multiple servers in different countries. Moreover the opportunity for students to get a comparison of different curricula within their nations and across counties; thus using this data to help improve their curricula. One benefit of this project is that the information being provided includes both an official and students’ point of view. Two Types of Questionnaires are used to collect data: Summary: The Curriculum Database (CD) is a SCOME project that aims to offer an opportunity for medical students to find information about the ways of studying and teaching medicine in other faculties and countries among students. We think that there is a need of knowledge in the field of medical curricula. Curriculum Database will be a tool that’s going to help: - student representatives to find out details about better and more developed medical education systems and, - all medical students that intend to take part in a student exchange programme or intend to study abroad. CD will be on the SCOME homepage, so that any medical student from all over the world can access it. First it should consist of the information gathered from the NMOs that are IFMSA members. In the long run, we would like to extend the CD to NMOs who are not involved in SCOME and to countries that are not IFMSA members. By opening the CD link on the SCOME homepage, you would first get to the list of countries. After clikcing the name of the country, you should get the list of universities in that country. Countries with many medical faculties do not have to list them all, but give examples of the main representative ones. This process is subject to change if new and improved technical methods are found. For the years to come and on a yearly bases, it is the project coordinator's job to ask for any relevant updates and check that the homepage is routinely updated. |
