Participants should be prepared to develop/revise an ISC curriculum emphasizing foundational sciences and learner assessments by the end of the training period. Participants will walk though the stages of the curriculum design and evaluation model in order to develop/revise their ISC curriculum. The systematic approach to curriculum design will provide participants with the understanding and process of developing, implementing and evaluating curricula.
