Abstract
As a teacher of family medicine, each faculty member has some responsibility for curriculum development and the instructional process. Components of this responsibility are overall design of the instructional system, development of integrated curriculum units (e.g., rotations, conference series, clinical continuity experience), preparation of educational objectives, participation in the instructional process, plus preparation of evaluation instruments and participation in the feedback process. Many books and articles describe the theory, importance, and processes of instructional design and curriculum development. This chapter will focus on the predominant writing skills required of faculty members to fulfill their educational responsibilities: writing educational objectives, instructional materials, and educational feedback/evaluation reports.
