CSDS curriculum mapping form

How to use this form?

The purpose of this form is to assist in mapping external simulation provider courses against the curriculum in the CSDS Technical Skills Training (TST) course. This will assist in evaluating whether the external course can be recognised as an equivalent education package to the TST course for; faculty pathway training requirements, equipment hire, and Pocket Centre Network staff education. The below form outlines the key learning objectives within the TST course and allows an external course to be mapped against these objectives, making note of the delivery modality (face to face, online learning, etc.), and assessment format (summative or formative).
