| الوصف: | Aim: Pakistan is in dire need of trained family physicians to enhance the quality of primary health care. To build capacity, there is a need to train the trainers on a large scale through a feasible and accessible program. Therefore, for the first time, a three-month online course was designed and piloted, in collaboration with national and international family medicine faculty. The aim of this study was to determine the gap between the pre-course expectations and the post-program perceptions of the participants for* a unique family medicine “Train the Trainers” course. Methods: A longitudinal-observational study was conducted at a private college of Karachi after approval from the Institutional Review Board. The expectations and perceptions of all (31) participants were recorded through a pre- and post-course questionnaire. Data were analyzed through descriptive and analytical statistics on SPSS-26. The responses to the open-ended questions were analyzed by content analytical approach. Results: Out of 20 quantitative items on the questionnaire, four were associated with a positive gap between the expectations and perceptions. One item showed a negative gap, while the rest did not show any significant difference. The majority of the participants expressed that they expected to see an improvement in their teaching skills because of the online course. Conclusion: The online course was successful in meeting the participants’ expectations. The course delivery can be revisited to further improve its quality according to the participant’s feedback, including an opportunity to ask questions and incorporating some face-to-face sessions. |
