摘要:Purpose:The Lee Jong-Wook Seoul Project,which began in 2011,is a training program that aims to educate faculty members of Lao University of Health Sciences in medical knowledge and skills. The project has tremendous significance,attempting to apply the Korean health care developmental model to developing countries. Precise evaluation of the project outcome must be performed to enhance the effectiveness,improve the shortcomings,and adjust the future direction of the program. Methods:Trainers and exchange professors were asked to fill out questionnaires in the middle and at the end of the program. Eight months after its completion,an evaluation team visited Lao and interviewed each exchange professor individually. Also, 360-degree feedback was obtained from their colleagues. We analyzed the answers to the questionnaires,based on Kirkpatrick’s 4-level model. Results:The trainers and exchange professors had positive reactions to the program. All participants felt that their knowledge and skills improved (in their respective fields),although the actual improvement was not extensive,according to their trainers' assessments. The 360-degree feedback demonstrated that the participants actively passed on their experience,knowledge,and skills to their colleagues on returning to work. Conclusion:Although a 4-level evaluation was not conducted and despite the limitations in examining academic achievement, interviewing Lao professors,and acquiring quantitative data at Lao University of Health Sciences,this project has demonstrated its value in the development of individual professors and their colleagues.
