Evaluation techniques in family practice residency training

Area of Science:

• Medical Education
• Program Evaluation

Background:

• Effective evaluation is crucial for educational programs but often difficult to implement.
• A lack of established models hinders practical evaluation efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe a functional evaluation program within a family practice residency.
• To provide a model for implementing program evaluation in similar educational settings.

Main Methods:

• Outlined an evaluation program tailored for a family practice residency.
• Detailed the specific components and implementation strategies used.

Main Results:

• Successfully implemented an evaluation program within the residency.
• Demonstrated a feasible approach to program evaluation.

Conclusions:

• The described program provides a viable model for family practice residency evaluation.
• Successful implementation is achievable with a structured approach.
