Program evaluation is a cornerstone of excellence in medical education at Geisel, ensuring that every aspect of the curriculum, teaching methods, and clinical training aligns with the ultimate goal: graduating competent, compassionate, and effective doctors. By systematically assessing what works and what needs improvement, program evaluation provides critical feedback that drives continuous quality improvement. It helps us identify gaps in knowledge delivery, ensures alignment with accreditation standards, and supports faculty development. Most importantly, it keeps the focus on student outcomes—ensuring that graduates are not only knowledgeable but also skilled in patient care, communication, and ethical decision-making. In this way, program evaluation is not just an administrative task; it is a vital process that safeguards the quality of medical education and, by extension, the health of the communities our graduates will serve.
