The Core Curriculum Concept

Each module is designed to help instructors develop and meet the course objectives within a 50-minute teaching opportunity, but flexibility is encouraged to customize the content or delivery methods to fit your goals and schedules. The use of local data, systems, and cases is encouraged wherever appropriate. While each module is offered in a linear format, that is only one delivery option (there is no "right way"). We encourage you to add, delete, rearrange, and customize the accompanying materials, tools, and references to meet the needs of your particular audience. If you need assistance, either technical or instructional, please contact the CRICO/RMF Patient Safety Education Program Director.

Whatever you create from the Core Curriculum materials will be unique, and of interest to your colleagues. Please use the feedback links located throughout the site to share with us, and future instructors, what worked, what didn't, how your audience responded, and any suggestions for an optimal learning opportunity.
