Another question… Regarding our previous discussion, I wonder if I could say that external and internal evaluators are more appropriate for different forms of evaluations? For example, it may be easier for internal evaluators to perform a formative evaluation.

You are welcome.

I see. Thanks a lot for your help!

Both internal and external evaluators can perform any type of evaluation, but internal evaluators may have an advantage in performing formative and quality assurance evaluations while external evaluators may be more appropriate for a summative evaluation, as the staff and residents may be dissatisfied with the conclusion of the evaluation.
