A protocol for program evaluation

In May 1975 the Center for Educational Development, College of Medicine, University of Illinois at the Medical Center, conducted a workshop titled, "Evaluation in the Health Professions." Five tracks were offered at the workshop and one focused on program evaluation. The 12 participants from this track worked on their respective projects for four-and-one-half days from an earlier version of the protocol presented in this article. Much of the workshop was tape recorded, and this article is the result of reviewing the tapes and recording the problems that were encountered with the original version of the protocol for program evaluation.
