From the reviews:

This is intended as a practical guide for medical educators preparing their medical education program for independent review. & The book serves a good purpose and meets the authors objectives. & The discussion is broad and principled. & Particularly useful are the practical suggestions regarding development of a curriculum database, visual description of program design, and the enumeration of resources. & this book, though small, is worth reading and is recommended for those preparing for an institutional review.
