This workshop introduces participants to fundamental principles of educational program evaluation, and provides participants with a strategy for developing an evaluation plan.

The courses are targeted for clinicians and other educators who desire to learn research skills that will enable collaborative participation in medical education research projects.

This workshop is intended for physicians and generalists in medical education, as well as faculty and staff involved in student affairs, who wish to develop perspectives and skills for collecting qualitative data, such as data from focus group discussions, interviews, observation field notes, and responses to open-ended questions—used in admissions processes, program development, curriculum evaluation, needs assessments, performance evaluation, and various scholarship and research applications.

The webinar will explore approaches to prioritizing valued competencies and mission-critical factors in admissions and financial aid processes, alongside alternative scholarship strategies while highlighting the importance of both near- and long-term planning in pathway programs and recruitment.

This interactive workshop will address challenges in content, faculty development, and student engagement. Open to student leaders, staff, and faculty involved or interested in leadership programs for medical students, this is an invaluable opportunity to collaborate with peers nationwide.
