Development of medical school curriculum databases continues to be challenging. Representation of the instructional unit is becoming increasingly difficult due to characteristics of the problem-based learning (PBL) curricula. Curriculum databases may be used to store materials for the PBL curricula, and also to provide a delivery mechanism for those materials. However, in order to take advantage of the curriculum database as a tool for PBL, methods for accessing the curriculum database that are better suited to the information needs of students, faculty, and administrators must be developed. Concept maps are directed graph representations of conceptual relationships, and may be used to represent the content of a curriculum database. In this paper, we describe a Web application that uses Java-based concept maps was the user interface to a curriculum database.
