The Curriculum Committee of the Medical College of Georgia implemented a formal course‐by‐course review of their entire dental curriculum after first adopting positions with respect to faculty philosophical concerns. The strategy adopted was to evaluate the articulation of the various courses into a coherent whole by using reviewers who taught related courses but were outside the particular department or discipline. In general, findings indicated a satisfactory degree of articulation. Some reviewers reported serendipitous outcomes for themselves as a result of reviewing the courses of others.
