  1. Curriculum Development for Medical Education: A Six Step Approach Section 2 : Identification of learner needs • David Kern Patricia Thomas Donna Howard Eric Bass John Hopkins University Press , 1998

  2. Identification of the learner • This is the specific group of learners who would best contribute to the solution • Example: residents who will be rotating through the pain service this year

  3. Prioritize the content and needs • What content is most needed? • What content is already attained by learners ? • What resources are available for assisting in teaching ? • What barriers could exist to teaching the content ?

  4. General Considerations for Needs Assessments • How much time can I spend identifying the needs of the learners ? • Example : I could use pretests of knowledge, questionnaires, focus groups, individual interviews or extended observations (ranging for short time requirements to long)

  5. Example • Your resident can not perform a comprehensive neuropsychiatric evaluation of the new patient patient . • The resident knows and performs an adequate medical history and PE • We have 2 psychologists on staff , and there are available psychiatrists and neurologists at the medical center • The residents do not think that neuropyshc exams are of great importance in her practice of pain medicine and should be left to other specialties as consults

  6. Key Observation • We still have not talked about Goals and Objectives. These come directly from the completed needs assessment .

  7. Exercise 2 • Identify 1 specific need of one specific group of learners in your practice • What content is needed most? • What content have they already attained ? • What resources are available to me? • What barriers might crop up ?
