Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:
“This is intended as a ‘practical guide for medical educators preparing their medical education program for independent review.’ … The book serves a good purpose and meets the author’s objectives. … The discussion is broad and principled. … Particularly useful are the practical suggestions regarding development of a curriculum database, visual description of program design, and the enumeration of resources. … this book, though small, is worth reading and is recommended for those preparing for an institutional review.” (Frank R. Ames, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2013)
“This book is a handy DIY manual on the process of designing and implementing a quality assured medical education program … . the book is small but reads much more coherently than some more detailed downloadable guidelines or multi-author compilations. As the subtitle specifies it is a ‘practical guide’, and this is its strength because it lays down the circumspect essentials of how to get started and provides a synoptic view of what can otherwise unwittingly extrapolate into a convoluted, counterproductive exercise.” (Sushil Dawka, Internet Journal of Medical Update, Vol. 8 (1), January, 2013)
