Abstrakt: Palliative care (PC) longitudinal curricula are increasingly being recognized as important in Undergraduate Medical Education (UME). They are however, not yet commonplace, and where they do exist may be implemented without a systematic, prospective approach to curriculum evaluation. This paper describes an implementation of a new longitudinal curriculum at the Perelman School of Medicine (PSOM) at the University of Pennsylvania. We used the Context Input Process Product (CIPP) model, a holistic evaluation model, to assess the local environment, design the curriculum, guide the improvement process, and evaluate outcomes. Comprehensive models such as CIPP provide a more robust approach to curriculum evaluation than outcomes-only models and may be of use to other programs who are implementing new curricula or improving upon existing programs.
