Rural Health Interdisciplinary Program (RHIP)

At the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center

RHIP Evaluation

Evaluation is a critical area of any program, and from time to time the student will be asked to participate in evaluation activities for this program. The evaluation tools that are used in the RHIP were designed to accomplish the following:
  • Assessment of tutorial sessions, group process, and faculty group facilitator evaluation: At the completion of each case, students provide feedback about the effectiveness of the tutorial sessions, cases, group process and the faculty group facilitator. This assessment provides ongoing feedback to the RHIP and measures the effectiveness of the problem-based learning method.

  • Pre/ Post Survey: You will be given a pre-assessment survey to fill out at the first RHIP session. This survey measures demographic variables as well as your responses to questions relating to interdisciplinary health care and rural health care perceptions and abilities. At the end of your rural experience you will be given a post-assessment survey with similar questions. The pre/post survey measures effectiveness of the RHIP in meeting its stated objectives and proposed outcomes.

  • Final Evaluation: The final assessment measures student satisfaction with the various components of the RHIP , and provides valuable information for RHIP improvement.

  • Longitudinal Surveys: Longitudinal surveys are administered to students who have graduated from this project and their respective disciplines.The RHIP will endeavor to keep track of all graduates to assess the long-term outcomes of RHIP participation.
