A curriculum map gives an overall overview about a curriculum and what is taught where, when and how. At the medical faculty of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich (LMU) a curriculum mapping tool based on learning objectives was introduced some years ago. Since that time teachers could document the learning objectives of their courses in a standardised way. In this article we describe the status quo of our efforts and the challenges to implement such learning-objective-based curriculum map that reflects the overall curriculum at our faculty.
