Evaluation of the Use of an Interactive, Online Resource for Competency-Based Curriculum Development

Abstract

The data collection methods offer a practical strategy for evaluating access to online curriculum development tools. The majority of U.S. pediatric residency programs have accessed Guidelines' resources for curriculum development; patterns of use have been sustained over time. Most users preferred the predesigned versions of the materials. Users surveyed found the tools useful for planning rotations and integrating competencies into their programs and reported high satisfaction with the Guidelines.
