title: Program evaluation in pediatric education.
abstract: The goal of this project at the Hospital for Sick Children (HSC), Toronto, Canada, was to evaluate the effectiveness of structure, processes, and outcomes of three pediatric nursing education programs offered by HSC Nursing Education Services. Participatory evaluation was the process used for the project. Results of this project will assist nurse educators to show accountability for the effectiveness and efficiency of their programs, and provide a model for planning and evaluating future programs.
