Description

The article uses Kern's six-step framework for healthcare curriculum design—problem identification, targeted needs assessment, goals and objectives, educational strategies, implementation, and evaluation and feedback—integrated with a shared governance model to guide the development of a nursing AMS curriculum. The authors state that "Combining the framework and model was necessary for shared decision-making and fostering responsibility and ownership among the departments involved in this initiative." Kern's framework guides implementation by considering factors influencing curriculum outcomes, while the shared governance model guides step-by-step planning by identifying key stakeholders, facilitators, and barriers.
