Abstract

Objective To propose a holistic approach to managing curricular transformation that addresses various curricular obligations, incorporates the emotional component of curricular overload, and utilizes deimplementation science to reframe curricular change decisions. Findings Given the need to codify processes and interventions that continually seek to ensure curricula are modernized, contemporary, and free of outdated teaching materials, we have developed a systematic deimplementation approach to address curricular overload. Its intent is to free space for more impactful learning and practices within pharmacy curricula that can lead to measurable improvements in workload, satisfaction, and learning outcomes for both students and faculty. Summary By adopting a deimplementation approach, schools and colleges of pharmacy can embrace the continual refinement and removal of curricular content as a marker of progress, rather than a loss.
