The video discusses curriculum development in the context of cardiology training. It focuses on COCATS (American College of Cardiology Core Cardiology Training Symposium) and its revisions over the years. The video highlights the competencies and activities outlined in COCATS 4 and emphasizes a shift towards patient-centric education. It also suggests using a broader framework when considering curriculum design, such as considering the whole curriculum, grounding it in theory or evidence, and using deliberative or leadership processes.
