Abstract:
The CIPP Evaluation Model is a comprehensive framework for program evaluation. Context assesses needs and problems within a defined environment. Input assesses competing strategies and resources of the selected approach. Process monitors, documents and assesses program activities. Product assesses the quality of outcomes. Objectives: 1) analyze the result of program evaluation of different institutions in terms of context, input, process and product. 2) compare the results of the different programs in terms of phases. The Philippine Academy of Family Physicians has 42 accredited residency training programs. In 2004, it changed its manner of accreditation using a modification of the CIPP evaluation model. In this study, 22 programs were accredited from 2004-2006 using this new format. For curriculum content, the programs met only 64 percent of the required criteria. Majority of the programs have adequate resources. As to the implementation, the different components include patient care, family care, community health and research. It was only in patient care that the programs met most of the criteria. As to the product, it showed that improvement must be done. Since the basic principle of family medicine lies in the holistic approach, enhancement in the training programs should be geared towards this.
