Inspired Teaching
 Rapid Evaluation of Educational Innovation & Reform
📅 Monday, January 24th, 2022 from 1-2:30pm EST
💻 Delivered Virtually
Effective implementation and sustained adoption of innovations in health professions education depends on systematic program evaluation efforts. In this session, we will introduce program leaders, educators, faculty, residents and administrators to the intersections of evaluation theory and practice. We will introduce a unique adaptation-focused program evaluation strategy, termed Rapid Evaluation, and illustrate its use in the evaluation of Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME). We will focus on evaluating the fidelity and integrity of implementation, as well as identifying early outcomes and unintended consequences to engage in a process of adaptation.Â
Learning Objectives
At the end of this virtual event, participants will be able to:
Report on the value of evaluating educational innovations such as competence-based medical education (CBME).
Define fidelity and integrity of implementation.
Explain the strengths and limitations of rapid evaluation as one approach to evaluation of educational programs.
Describe important steps and considerations in implementing rapid evaluation in practice.
Develop a plan for evaluation within their own program and institutional context.
Step-by-Step, We Will Illustrate & Explain How to:Â
Establish a team identify, organize, and engage with primary stakeholders.
Determine evaluation priorities and questions.
Select methods for gathering useful qualitative and quantitative data.
Mobilize findings to share with stakeholders and broader audiences using technical reports and peer-reviewed scholarship.
