title: A computerized database-management system for curriculum analysis.
abstract: This report describes a computerized database-management system designed to allow users to retrieve and report information on the curriculum of an undergraduate pathophysiology course. With the system the user can locate where and in what context a topic is covered in the course and can answer queries and prepare reports concerning, for example, format and duration of sessions, teaching aids used and instructors. The system is a unique tool that can be used to optimize course structure and content. It can easily be expanded to include other undergraduate medical courses, and the techniques can be applied to other disciplines.
