Jennifer Phillips, Ph.D.

Are you a director charged with managing and optimizing a clinic, program, or department?

A yes to any or all of the questions suggests that you are in a position to benefit from standardized and methodologically sound program evaluation. That may sound like a daunting prospect, particularly since you are likely busy with the day-to-day tasks of running your clinic, program, practice, etc.  But with the correct information and resources, an effective and successful evaluation of any size program is achievable.
