PCTE grantee evaluation resources give prospective and current awardees an evaluation framework. It directly relates to the PCTE priority outcomes.
Other programs can benefit too. Resources focus on training health care professionals about their impact and readiness for interdisciplinary care, and health care access, quality, and cost.

PCTE Evaluation Toolkit
The PCTE Program trains clinicians to deliver high-quality primary care. The PCTE Evaluation Toolkit recommends ways to track trainee outcomes and program strategies to:
- improve patient experience and access,
- lower cost, and
- raise the quality of health care services.
Within each module, we provide a step-by-step approach to developing the evaluation, including sample tools and resources.
Who should use this toolkit?
Organizations in the grant-planning phase, or those actively engaged in the evaluation process.

2016 PCTE Awardee Profiles
Awardee profiles help to demonstrate evaluation approaches, facilitate peer-to-peer connection, and build a community of practice among interested programs.
Each profile contains a summary of the program goals, professions and trainee types targeted, HRSA priority outcomes addressed and an abstract. Where available, we included principle investigator and evaluation director contact information.
