External Evaluation In February 1999, an external evaluation of the EPIET
programme was carried out to answer the following questions:
-
To what extent does EPIET fulfill its objectives?
-
Is EPIET good value for the price it costs to run the
programme?
-
Does the training meet the standards required to
appropriate and effective learning?
-
Can the training be adapted to other disciplines (e.g.
environmental health)
-
Are there alternative models to accomplish the training
objectives (e.g. through an institution)?
-
What impact does EPIET have on other international
organisations?
The evaluation team consisted of Ian Welborn, an independent
management consultant with expertise in learning and practical training
methodologies, and Stephen Ostroff, Associate Director for Epidemiological
Science of the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, CDC, USA.. Professor
José Maria Martin-Morengo, Dean/Director and Professor of Epidemiology at the
National School of Public Health of Spain and President-elect of the Association
of Schools of Public Health in the European Region, joined the team later in the
evaluation process.
The team conducted the evaluation reviewing documents
provided by EPIET management; selected site visits to Paris, Brussels, Berlin,
Madrid, London (including Wales and Scotland), and Geneva; telephone interviews
to Sweden and Finland. People interviewed included officials, trainers, and
fellows, alumni and other relevant stakeholders. These activities occurred over
a period of approximately eight months.
The report of the evaluation team is in the public domain and
can be requested from the EPIET programme office or downloaded as a pdf file.
