AIDS education for the podiatric physician. Evaluating program impact.
An important component in the development of any educational program is the evaluation of its effectiveness. The program described in this article was designed in such a way that its impact on practitioners' knowledge, attitudes, and clinical practices regarding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) could be evaluated. One hundred ten participants were asked to complete pre-conference and post-conference tests in order to measure improvement that resulted from program attendance. The author presents both a description of the conference and a summary of the evaluation results, along with suggestions for improving future educational programs.
