Peer review of a dental curriculum: how one school did it.
The Curriculum Committee of the Medical College of Georgia implemented a formal course-by-course review of their entire dental curriculum after first adopting positions with respect to faculty philosophical concerns. The strategy adopted was to evaluate the articulation of the various courses into a coherent whole by using reviewers who taught related courses but were outside the particular department or discipline. In general, findings indicated a satisfactory degree of articulation. Some reviewers reported serendipitous outcomes for themselves as a result of reviewing the courses of others.
