ECUR 809 Assignment #4 Logic Model

I chose a standard template for my project logic model as it seemed to fit quite well with the program I am describing. The overall goal of the TIPS for Residents program is to help residents become better teachers and more confident when they are in teaching sessions. The objectives relate to the actual skills and knowledge necessary for this and are the objectives listed in the TIPS for Residents manual. The activities describe the general set up of the workshops and how they are run. There is a slight blurring of the lines regarding outputs, outcomes, and impacts. The outputs are closely related to the objectives as these are the skills and knowledge that can be measured immediately upon completion of the workshop activities. Outcomes are better thought of as competencies achieved by residents as a result of the skills and knowledge they have learned in the workshops. These have to do with whether or not residents are actually teaching more effectively and how confident they are in these episodes. Impacts flow from this and basically are related to longer-term results of the workshops. Ideally, if residents are more confident and comfortable in teaching, and have the skills and knowledge to do it well, their experience will lead them to continue good teaching practices throughout their careers.

Unfortunately, I am a technological neophyte so I may need to send my logic model directly to Jay.
