Dyson Initiative National

Evaluation (DINE)

The Dyson Initiative National Evaluation (DINE) is designed to assess the effectiveness of the first phase of the CPTI. This phase focused on innovative residency training experiences in partnership with community-based organizations at 10 residency programs funded by the Dyson Foundation. The study team, from the Johns Hopkins Women's and Children's Health Policy Center, is conducting this cross-site evaluation by examining outcomes in three areas: residency training programs, individual residents, and national trends related to residency education. The investigators are supported in their efforts by a National Evaluation Advisory Committee. More specific information about the design and status of the national evaluation can be accessed at: http://www.jhsph.edu/wchpc/projects/DINE/dine.html
