I shall tell you the story of an experienced scholar who was assigned the task of designing/establishing a new academic bachelor of science program in a 3rd world country in the 1990s.
He spent 3 years in gathering information from various universities who had similar program after which he selected the most appropriate courses that will be included in the study plan. He numbered & gave each course a description in the native language & in English. His efforts were crowned when the ministry of higher education approved the program in the late 1990s after which the program was implemented & saved a department from downfall.
Just after commencing the new program, a new university administration was appointed with a dictator taking over the top position. This new management did not thank the scholar by words nor did it appreciate his efforts. In fact, he was subjected to incessant witch-hunt & harassment and that included deductions from his monthly salary plus deductions from his overtime work's money. Of course, he was not given extension after retirement but many other scholars were given that thanks to their loyalty or affiliation .
There are, currently, places in some 3rd world countries in which "real" talent is fought by adversary elements who work hard to keep this nation down while their "false" propaganda claims that their institutions are at the top frontiers of knowledge. In reality, these institutions are expected to become kindergartens very soon.

...The most optimal is such an action sequence that provides for formation of the required level of competences during studies: definition of important problems - allocation of required skills to solve them – stipulation of competences needed to solve this type of tasks - choosing corresponding content - design of teaching methods – development of evaluation system. This sequence was specified in view of the author's and additional researches and lay the basis of the designed construction algorithm of individual educational trajectory of students...
When you are designing your programme or module, you need to consider the following:
What is the purpose of your programme or module? For example, personal academic development, preparation for research or employment, preparation for lifelong learning? Are appropriate learning opportunities available?
Is your programme current, that is does it reflect current disciplinary knowledge, good practice in pedagogy and does it reflect the needs of the market?
Is the level appropriate? Where does it fall in the Framework for Higher Education qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland?
How will students progress through the programme?
Is the programme sufficiently flexible to fit the needs of the learners?
Is the programme well structured and coherent?
Are the learning outcomes realistic and achievable?
Have the necessary reference points been consulted? This includes Senate regulations, QAA Quality Code and subject benchmark statements, and requirements from funding bodies.

in my ecpertise: working tpgether in a tema of experts on health subjet , +curriculum + People from health organizarios (governmental ando private). This way you can approach to a health académic program vinculated to social needs and students potential interest.
