Currently, 42 students are provided salary, travel and educational support, and research facilities. The students are housed in a facility on the NIH campus that once was a convent for cloistered nuns; therefore the program has become known as the "Cloister Program." Its sister program, the Research Training Fellowships for Medical Students program, provides support for U.S.

When this happens, HHMI tries to relocate them using online search tools such as Google, Web sites of state medical boards of licensure, medical school faculty directories, hospital staff directories, and personal and practice Web pages. On a few occasions commercial locator services have been used.

Medical Student databases, the AAMC Faculty Roster Database, and the Medline and CRISP databases. Approach #2: The second approach to evaluate the success of HHMI program alumni was to utilize the data collected by Cloister staff from the interactions described above.

EVALUATION OF THE TWO APPROACHES TO PROGRAM ASSESSMENT Although both the internal and external program evaluations showed both HHMI training efforts to be equivalent and effective, they present differing views of the two programs and their relationship to other training opportunities. Because HHMI's internal program evaluation has such detailed and up-to-date information on the career activities of alumni, it provides quantitatively different information from the external evaluation process that utilizes more publicly accessible information.

SUMMARY Both the internal and external evaluations of the two HHMI medical student research training programs indicate that the two programs are successful and roughly equivalent. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages for each approach to the evaluation of alumni success.
