Past Courses

One challenge in mastering program evaluation in health professions education is the perceived complexity and ethical concerns associated with evaluating educational interventions. This course is designed to demystify program evaluation through a practical, systematic, and GenAI-enhanced approach to Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI).

Participants will identify the role of program evaluation in improving educational outcomes, describe a stepwise approach to conducting evaluations, create a logic model to describe the program of interest, and design GenAI-assisted evaluation plans using engineered prompts.

The course integrates rigorous standards and ethics in evaluation, and explores the use of big data and AI technologies to enhance evaluation processes. By combining interactive lectures, case studies, hands-on small group exercises, and group discussions, this course equips educators with the skills to effectively assess and refine educational programs.

Join us to gain insights from experienced facilitators on employing advanced technological tools and avoiding common pitfalls in program evaluation. Whether you're new to program evaluation or seeking to enhance your existing skills, this course will provide valuable knowledge and practical tools to advance your professional practice.
