UNPAD CALOHEA team that join in Specific Subject Group Medicine has carried out the project by collecting data to comprehend and construct:

1.	The Meta-profiles, The meta-profiles are analyzed in light of the most recent National Qualification Framework (e.g., Indonesia: KKNI), National Standard Competency of Indonesian Medical Doctor (SKDI) and the Subject-Specific Framework (e.g., graduate profiles of the specific disciplines in a study program). Meta profiles are the expected graduate profiles, consisting of the dimension and sub-dimension elements such as the Knowledge, Skills, and Responsibility element as the Reference Framework.
2.	Student workload measurement as an integral part of curriculum design. This is undertaken by conducting online surveys and interviews to understand student workload, preparing and consulting for Desk Estimation of Student Workload. The procedure was carried out in three phases, namely 1) Analyzing student workload per course/ unit/ module, 2) Analyzing student workload for all courses/ units/ modules of the semester, and 3) Analyzing student workload planned for and communicated to students. In this last stage, students’ feedback is gathered for further recommendation.
3.	Authentic assessment of internationally comparable learning outcomes. This has been conducted by engaging lecturers and other stakeholders (such as students and employers) in coordinated efforts to ensure the gradual and full implementation of the authentic assessment (AuA). The activities for AuA should represent real-life contexts, real-world tasks, and activities, as well as realistic/simulated situations. In AuA, the students are expected to learn and know how to apply their skills in authentic tasks and projects. As for the lecturers, they are required to provide valuable feedback to students.
