Nurse Educ. 2002 Nov-Dec;27(6):265-70. doi: 10.1097/00006223-200211000-00007.

Abstract

Instead of nursing faculty deciding the kind of education needed for a new curriculum, views and suggestions were solicited from nurses, doctors, and policy makers to help shape the curriculum. When stakeholders are involved in curriculum planning, there is a greater likelihood that the needed education is delivered. The authors discuss the context, process, outcome, and pros and cons of stakeholder involvement.
