Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to propose evaluation criteria for assessing competency-based medical education curriculum, which are currently the main educational programs in medical schools in South Korea. The ultimate goal was to enhance the quality of medical education by establishing evaluation criteria that reflect the characteristics of competency-based medical education curriculum.
 Methods To achieve this, the study conducted a literature review to identify the characteristics of competencybased medical education curriculum and analyzed existing evaluation models and criteria used in medical education. Based on this analysis, primary evaluation criteria were identified. Subsequently, interviews were conducted with five experts to derive practical elements that should be included in the evaluation criteria, considering the current reality of medical education curriculum in South Korean medical schools. Through the literature review and expert interviews, the final evaluation criteria were developed.
 Results Through literature analysis, we have developed a framework for evaluation criteria by combining evaluation models that are commonly used in medical education. By analyzing previous studies that mentioned evaluation criteria in the field of medical education, we initially derived 8 evaluation areas, 31 evaluation items, and 73 evaluation indicators. Subsequently, incorporating the secondary evaluation criteria factors derived from expert interviews, we organized them to finalize 5 evaluation areas, 19 evaluation items, and 61 evaluation indicators.
 Conclusions This study contributes to the development of evaluation criteria and models that reflect the theoretical and practical characteristics of competency-based medical education curriculum in medical schools. Additionally, through the investigation process, it provided in-depth insights into the challenges and areas for improvement faced in implementing competency-based medical education curriculum in current medical schools.
