Abstract
Curriculum review is an essential part of ongoing curriculum development, and is a mandate of the American
Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education (AVMA COE), the accrediting body of all North American
schools and colleges of veterinary medicine. This article describes the steps in curriculum review undertaken by
the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine (UMN CVM) in response to this mandate from the
COE and to a recommendation from a recent collegiate review that was part of a larger university-level strategic
planning effort. The challenges of reviewing and revising the curriculum within a short time frame were met by
appointing a dedicated curriculum review board and by engaging students and faculty groups, both as focus groups
and as specific faculty work sections within disciplines. Faculty voting on the process was very valuable as it
permitted the curriculum review board and faculty groups to move ahead knowing there was a process in place
for reassessment if most faculty did not agree with recommendations. Consistent support from the dean of the
college and other administrators was vital in helping maintain momentum for curriculum review.
