Design and implementation of curriculum change.
In this paper, the authors propose adapting a four-stage model to design, implement and evaluate change in the curriculum for the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. For each stage, a relevant case study is presented to illustrate the application of the model. Factors facilitating change are described, as well as barriers to change. Strategies to overcome such barriers and the applicability of this model to other disciplines are also provided.
