ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines, in chronological sequence, four case studies, from the author's own experience, involving integration of a part or the whole of the undergraduate medical curriculum. In each case the author played a significant role in a change from a conventional discipline-based curriculum, or a part of it, to a more integrated one. The identity of the medical school involved in the change is withheld for reasons of confidentiality. Two of the attempts to change could be considered to have been successful, while the other two were not. The reasons for the success or failure of the change are analysed in relation to the guidelines for implementation of a change to an integrated curriculum described in Chapter 8.
