A curriculum is a planned educational experience. This broad definition includes everything from a single didactic lecture to a rotation or clerkship to an entire training program such as an internship, residency or fellowship. This guide is a six‐step approach for creating any of these curricula. Steps 1 through 6 include: (1) identify the problem, (2) perform a needs assessment, (3) create goals and objectives, (4) develop the program, (5) implement the program, and (6) evaluate participants and the program. Use of these steps may at first seem laborious, yet results are user friendly and simplify subsequent curricula updating. Education accrediting agencies are increasing their expectations for detailed curricula and evaluations. This approach helps meet these standards. J. Clin. Apheresis, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
