The Logic Model for program evaluation gives attention to the different components of the program, and also to the relationship between these components and the context of the program. This model has been used to plan, implement, and evaluate programs in medical education, and provides a visual representation of the linear relationship between...

Le programme d'adoption familiale a vu le jour en raison de l'inégalité des services de santé dans les zones rurales, en termes d'accessibilité, de pénurie de personnel de santé et de services limités disponibles pour les personnes vivant dans ces zones.

Ce modèle a été utilisé pour planifier, mettre en oeuvre et évaluer des programmes d'enseignement médical et fournit une représentation visuelle...
