Summary

Ilios is an open-source curriculum management platform for health professions education. It collects, manages, analyzes, and delivers curricular information for schools and institutions, organizing complex curricula across programs, departments, and schools while supporting data integrity, security, and intellectual property controls. Program management includes year-by-year tracking, competency domains, content review workflows, and historical audits. Calendar tools provide search, mobile views, synchronization and downloads, access to online learning environments, and alerts about schedule, location, or content changes. Reporting supports curriculum mapping, teaching- and content-hours tracking, trend reporting, archiving, and accreditation work. An API connects external data sources, and Ilios complements Moodle and Canvas. The project describes the code as community-based and available to fork on GitHub. Ilios 3 uses a Symfony PHP/SQL backend, with a LAMP stack on Linux recommended; Windows IIS deployments are also possible. Hosted Ilios starts at 1000.00 USD per month per school, with implementation, customization, and deployment fees separate. A live demo is available.
