Abstract
This paper highlights an effective model for evaluating geriatric workforce enhancement professional development programs, using multiple methodologies (i.e., quantitative and qualitative). An adaptation of Kirkpatrick's (1994; 2010) model of evaluation was implemented to assess the evidence-based fall prevention program delivered at a Program for All Inclusive Care for the Elderly site. The purpose of this paper is to describe the program's design, data collection activities and instruments, and findings, and also suggest strategies for successfully replicating the approach.
