RAMP: A Design Sprint for Longitudinal Curriculum Integration

Abstract Health professions programs increasingly seek to integrate cross-cutting curricular content across phases, yet faculty often lack shared processes for planning and implementing this work. We developed RAMP (Reflect, Anchor, Map, Plan), a curriculum design sprint that guides faculty teams through four structured steps to produce concrete integration products within a single session. RAMP was introduced in a 60-min sprint at a regional conference. Fourteen participants ( N = 14; RR = 100%) completed a post-workshop evaluation. All reported satisfaction, and most indicated likelihood of recommending the session. Preliminary findings suggest RAMP is feasible for collaborative curriculum planning.

Abstract

Abstract Health professions programs increasingly seek to integrate cross-cutting curricular content across phases, yet faculty often lack shared processes for planning and implementing this work. We developed RAMP (Reflect, Anchor, Map, Plan), a curriculum design sprint that guides faculty teams through four structured steps to produce concrete integration products within a single session. RAMP was introduced in a 60-min sprint at a regional conference. Fourteen participants ( N = 14; RR = 100%) completed a post-workshop evaluation. All reported satisfaction, and most indicated likelihood of recommending the session. Preliminary findings suggest RAMP is feasible for collaborative curriculum planning.
