Evaluation in health professions education-Is measuring outcomes enough?

Louise M. Allen, Margaret Hay, Claire Palermo

Summary: Efforts to increase rigor in health professions education evaluation should shift towards program evaluation rather than outcome evaluation. The widespread use of the Kirkpatrick Model in HPE, while increasing, has limitations such as focus on outcomes and lack of consideration of impacting factors. Other evaluation models should be utilized to better understand the complex processes in HPE.
