The number of professional education programs in rheumatology is increasing at a rapid rate. All efforts to establish such programs should include a formal evaluation plan to assess their value. Clear definitions of program objectives and an understanding of the concepts of education program evaluation should be the basis of planning. We have developed an evaluation approach that focuses on education impact as the key measure of program benefits. Impact is measured in three critical areas: Knowledge, clinical performance, and professional behavior. The tools use in this approach include two questionnaires and a trained patient. Educators may use these measure together to generate an overall estimate of education benefits, or they can use them separately to evaluate specific program objectives. This theory-based strategy can serve as a general model for approaching the evaluation of professional education programs in rheumatology.
风湿病专业教育项目的数量正在迅速增加。建立此类项目的所有努力都应包括一个正式的评估计划，以评估其价值。明确的项目目标定义和对教育项目评估概念的理解应作为规划的基础。我们开发了一种评估方法，该方法将教育影响作为项目效益的关键衡量标准。影响在三个关键领域进行衡量：知识、临床绩效和专业行为。这种方法中使用的工具包括两份问卷和一名经过培训的患者。教育工作者可以一起使用这些衡量标准来生成对教育效益的总体估计，或者他们可以单独使用它们来评估特定的项目目标。这种基于理论的策略可以作为评估风湿病专业教育项目的一般模型。
