Evaluation of Training Program Management

Steps	Evaluation
Selection of exchange professors	The selection was based on the recommendation by Laos Ministry of Health and University of Health Sciences. Instead, faculties in the specialty which needed immediate support had to be prioritized.
Pre-training program	Due to short and superficial orientation for training program, exchange professors were not well prepared for language and medical knowledge.
Educational goal setting	Individual educational goals and contents were not fine-tuned enough.
	Educational goals must have been focused on the transfer of knowledge and skills as well as achieving them to enhance health and medicine of Laos.
Training program and adviser	The specialty education program should consider the current status of medical system in Laos. Also, it needs to be focused on transferability after training is completed.
	A larger scale of the program is needed.
	Development of diploma or degree course for exchange professors is needed.
