We’re a health profession membership association. Can we use our annual member survey to determine if our current program achieves our mission statement?

Annual member surveys can serve as a great tool to obtain learner input and opinions on how they rate the effectiveness of your program.  However, this can be highly subjective information that should not be used as your sole data source.  Learner outcomes data aggregated from your full program (i.e. across various activities) should also be used in your program analysis, as it is a better indicator of actual changes in competence, performance and/or patient outcomes in line with your mission.
