Identify the concepts/ constructs you want to include in the revised (or new) curriculum.
For example, Social Determinates of Health figure prominently in the Future of Nursing 2020-2030, Healthy People 2030, the AACN Essentials , and numerous other professional recommendations. An up-to-date nursing curriculum will provide opportunities for students to address the impact of social determinants of health on the delivery of nursing care in a variety of contexts. Note: If you plan to revise an existing curriculum, evaluating the content currently in place to determine which concepts/constructs can be omitted is a critical next step. Only through thoughtful analysis to determine repetitions and unneeded content will you be able to add important updated content without overloading the curriculum.
