title: AIDS education for the podiatric physician. Evaluating program impact.
abstract: 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.
