| Annotation | A vertical curriculum format is one in which material from a given subject is incorporated into multiple courses throughout different years. Such a format for training in geriatrics has been adopted at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Earlier, this curriculum was assessed by analysis of self-report from course directors and analysis of class hand-outs. However, test question analysis has been recommended as the best method to assess curriculum content and emphasis. This article summarises a test question analysis of the University of Carolina School of Medicine undergraduate medical school curriculum. Results reflect an increase in emphasis on geriatric material as evidenced by test question analysis. (RH). |
