Development of the MB ChB curriculum map at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

To the Editor: With reference to the article by Van Heerden[1] aimed at addressing the health needs of South Africa (SA)’s population through competency-based health professions curricula, we share our experience of developing the MB ChB curriculum map at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) as a first step towards curriculum review. The map is intended to evaluate the current curriculum against the five key elements referred to in the article as necessary to inform the training of health professionals for the SA context.
