Dr. David Rojas is a scientist at the Wilson Centre for Research in Education, the Director of Program Evaluation for Medical Education, at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at the University of Toronto (UofT). David’s research focuses on the evaluation of complex healthcare and education systems. Using insights from systems engineering, David approaches program evaluation from a theory-based perspective to study the impact of phenomena like medical school accreditation, the evaluation of training models in medical education (e.g., CBME), and the assessment of teachers. His program of research aims to bring theory into program evaluation to elevate the type of data-driven decision that can result from program evaluation initiatives. David's work also studies the influence of external systems and structures in educational and healthcare programs.
