Abstract
Schools responsible for the education of health professionals throughout the world are seeking ways to respond to the changing realities of the health professions and society. In an effort to be responsive to as many people as possible, there is a need to develop evaluative instruments that are effective and easily understood by multiple stakeholders. The authors describe the effective utilization of a simple scale for curricular evaluation, innovation, and reform. The scale, which incorporates two previously described instruments, can be used as an aid in several phases of curricular design: (a) during the development ofastatementofeducationalphilosophies that aid in goal and objective development, (b) during the selection and organization of learning experiences, and (c) during the evaluation of a curriculum.
