A new clinical medical school has been established at the University of Cambridge. The school has decided to employ two educationists to monitor and evaluate the new course. In British medical education, this represents a most unusual and radical decision.
The background to the evaluation is described in this paper, which then considers possible methods and problems, and outlines the planned strategy: the proposal includes measures of the school's ‘ethos’, the teaching/ learning process, aspects of its cost, and the quality of its ‘product’ — the medical graduate. Initial experiences ate reported, including some perceptions of the ‘evaluators’ as to their developing functions.
