    ASPIRE Awards

    The ASPIRE award programme aims to highlight, showcase, and exemplify best practices in health professions education.

    The aim of this site is to help you through the process. Below, you'll find all the information you need about the award areas, criteria for success, and the submission and review process.

    ASPIRE awards are non-competitive - all institutions which meet the criteria for excellence are eligible for the award. To this end, we encourage you to chat with colleagues, ask questions, and share best practices. When you're ready, you can make payment and submit your application online.

Curriculum Development

  • Curriculum Development


    A curriculum is a statement of the intended aims and objectives, experiences, outcomes and processes of an educational programme (Grant, 2006). A curriculum describes all the ways in which a training or teaching organisation plans and guides learning. This learning can take place in groups or with individual learners. It can take place inside or outside a classroom. It can take place in an institutional setting like a school, college or training centre, or in a village or a field. It is central to the teaching and learning process (Rogers and Taylor 1998). 

    The focus of this ASPIRE award is on curriculum development, not primarily on the curriculum itself (although inevitably that has to be considered as part of the evaluation of its development).
