Abstract

The famous sentence “Après moi le déluge” (“After me the flood”), attributed to Louis XV, king of France, makes reference to the perception that one’s own successor is not going to be suitable to the task. The situation seems to apply to plenty of the Italian Presidents of the Undergraduate Curriculum in Medicine, who continually succeed one another, with the new President too often bound to restart from the beginning. The most obvious solution to this problem is to institutionalize the handover process. However, the presence of collegiate bodies, helping the President to manage the Curriculum, is another important tool to ensure continuity between the succeeding Presidents. Technical Committee for Planning teaching and education (TCP) was created in 2000 by the Permanent Conference of Presidents of the Undergraduate Curricula in Medicine and every Italian Undergraduate Curriculum should have such a structure. However, the functions attributed to TCP are changing because of the new tasks the President is nowadays facing, from faculty development, to the quality assurance, to the needs to second the paradigm shift from a teacher-based teaching to a student-centred learning. As a consequence, TCP requirements are changing and it is time to give birth to a 2.0 TCP to help Presidents to face nowadays challenges.
