Popis: A psychometric model for the construction of examinations (the test construction process) is adapted as a conceptual framework for curriculum design. The outcome of the process, the curriculum blueprint, is proposed as particularly advantageous for nurse practitioner education, which is somewhat unique among nursing specialties in its need to accommodate the competing demands of several regulatory or educational approval bodies that influence the content of its curriculum. The curriculum blueprint provides a visual dimension and therefore is useful as a communication tool. An excerpted example of a curriculum blueprint is offered.
