Curriculum evaluation: a crucial component of dietetic programs.
The Nominal Group Technique was used to evaluate the existing CUP curriculum at Louisiana Tech University. Forty-five persons involved in the program participated in one of three workshops. The nominal group process successfully generated ranked and weighed "problem" statements to be addressed in program revision. The NGT allowed input from all individuals, leading to the clinical practitioners "owning" the crucial clinical experience component of the coordinated undergraduate program.
