What is a Needs Assessment?
A Needs Assessment is conducted to identify gaps in the knowledge of targeted healthcare professionals. Needs assessments help determine the educational objectives and program topics.

There are many methods used to prepare a needs assessment which may include the following: an educational gap analysis survey of the target audience; previous program evaluations where attendees list topics of future interest; results of focus group discussion; expert opinion from national or regional Key Opinion Leaders; literature searches; or, target audience testing.
