Strengthening the Quality of Nursing Education: Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University Hosts Curriculum Development Workshop
The Bachelor of Nursing and Professional Nurse Education Study Program at the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University (FK Unud), held a two-day Curriculum Development Workshop from November 2–3, 2026, at the Prof. Ngoerah Meeting Room, FK Unud, Denpasar.

(November 2, 2026)
The workshop featured Windy Rakhmawati, S.Kp., M.Kep., Ph.D.—Dean of the Faculty of Nursing at Padjadjaran University—who attended as a representative of the Association of Indonesian Nursing Education Institutions (AIPNI) and served as a guest speaker. Her participation was intended to provide an academic perspective and help refine the direction of the nursing curriculum, ensuring it aligns with national standards and professional competency requirements.
The event, attended by all faculty members of the Bachelor of Nursing and Professional Nurse Education Study Program at FK Unud, was officially opened by the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, Prof. Dr. dr. I Gede Eka Wiratnaya, Sp.OT., Subsp.Onk.Ort.R(K). In his remarks, he expressed his sincere appreciation to the guest speaker for her time and contribution. He further emphasized the importance of accelerating the development of an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum—ensuring that it is not only substantively complete in its documentation but also fully integrated with the university’s academic information system (SIMAK). "Our target is for all study programs to implement Outcome-Based Education (OBE) by 2027. Therefore, we must prepare a curriculum structure, learning materials, and evaluation instruments for Graduate Learning Outcomes (GLOs) that are concrete and measurable—moving beyond mere administrative compliance," asserted Prof. Dr. dr. I Gede Eka Wiratnaya, Sp.OT., Subsp.Onk.Ort.R(K).
This workshop serves as a pivotal moment for study programs to evaluate their existing curricula and formulate development strategies that remain relevant to the evolution of higher education and the increasingly complex demands of healthcare services.
Through this workshop, faculty members have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the principles and strategies for developing nursing education curricula. This includes strengthening the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach, aligning Graduate Learning Outcomes with the curriculum structure, developing student-centered learning methods, and establishing evaluation systems that support the attainment of graduate competencies.
The participation of a speaker who serves as both an academic and a representative of the Indonesian Association of Nursing Education Institutions (AIPNI) adds significant value, particularly in ensuring that the curriculum aligns with the policy direction and standards for professional nursing education in Indonesia. The discussions are also intended to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the integration between academic and professional education, ensuring that graduates possess competencies that meet the requirements of professional nursing practice.
Over the course of two days, the workshop focuses on strengthening conceptual understanding, facilitating interactive discussions, evaluating the current curriculum, and formulating recommendations for its further development. The active involvement of all faculty members is essential to ensuring that the resulting curriculum can accommodate scientific advancements, the digital transformation of healthcare, societal needs, and the challenges facing nursing services at both the national and global levels. Through this activity, the Bachelor of Nursing and Nurse Professional Education Study Program at the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, aims to develop a more structured and integrated curriculum—one focused on graduate competency outcomes—while simultaneously strengthening the institution’s commitment to producing professional nurses who are competent, ethical, adaptive, and competitive.
