“…Different industries are facing increasing competition among organizations to attract qualified human capital (McDonnell, ). In several countries and regions, healthcare organizations face challenges to attract sufficient numbers of nurses (Buchan & Campbell, ). There are multiple causes for these shortages, including unfavourable working conditions, constrained resources, (Buchan & Aiken, ) and population ageing, which creates a surge in the demand for care (Juraschek, Zhang, Ranganathan, & Lin, ).…”

“…There are multiple causes for these shortages, including unfavourable working conditions, constrained resources, (Buchan & Aiken, ) and population ageing, which creates a surge in the demand for care (Juraschek, Zhang, Ranganathan, & Lin, ). Although the shortage of healthcare workers does not occur in every region or country (e.g., Galbany‐Estragués & Nelson, ), it is globally a widespread phenomenon (Buchan & Campbell, ). This study takes place in a Belgian context where the nursing shortage is indeed prevalent (Bourdon, ; VDAB ).…”

“…Their efforts to expand human resources that are capable are frequently obstructed by a lack of a well-trained faculty who can provide professional training in the field of public health education, including medical education [ 9 ]. From a global perspective, addressing these problems is critical and listed in the WHO’s agenda for Post-2015, which targets achieving quality healthcare administered by human resources [ 10 ]. Because medical education changes the practice pattern, it can eventually have wide-ranging effects on the health of a population, especially in underdeveloped regions [ 11 ].…”

Evaluation of an international faculty development program for developing countries in Asia: the Seoul Intensive Course for Medical Educators

BackgroundThe issue of collaboration in medical education is becoming prominent. Some faculty development programs have suggested an approach for promoting collaboration on a global level. However, non-English-speaking developing countries in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, do not take advantage of them due to their unique context, such as language and culture. To address these issues, Seoul National University College of Medicine initiated a 6-week international faculty development program called the “Seoul Intensive Course for Medical Educators” for 16 fellows from five Asian countries (Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, and Vietnam). The aim of this study is to report the evaluation results of the outcome of the program and discuss better ways of collaborating with developing countries.MethodsThree levels of collaboration—intraorganizational, intranational, and international—were central initiatives of the program. Prior to setting up the program details, we first established four design principles, following which the contents, materials, and facilitators were determined to maintain consistency with the design principles. The evaluation of the program was done with Kirkpatrick’s four-level model. Most of the evaluation data for level 1 were collected by two questionnaires, the post-module survey and the post-program survey. Portfolios and progress reports were mainly used to collect outcome data for levels 2 and 3, respectively.ResultsThe reaction was generally positive throughout the program and there was a significant correlation between satisfaction and relevance to one’s job or needs. Despite the fellows’ propensity for overestimating themselves, both the evaluators and fellows reported that there was significant improvement in learning. Opinions on the impact or urgency of the topics were slightly different from country to country; however, the answers regarding feasibility were fairly similar. Moreover, we could observe from the post-program progress reports that the transfer of learning was actively in progress, mainly for topics that were highly feasible.ConclusionsThese results show that the program was successful in terms of its effectiveness. Consistent and timely support is essential for the sustainable development of the medical education systems in these countries. Further understanding of the underlying factors on transfer (level 3) could improve the effectiveness of faculty development programs for developing countries.

“…However, there is a strong argument that more advanced economies also need to respond, both to the impact of economic austerity and to the combined problem of an ageing population and ageing health workforce. Buchan and Campbell suggest that as new models of care emerge this is both an opportunity for transformative thinking and a threat to the status quo 2. They argue that the aspiration for universal health coverage will not be achieved without a shared commitment to a transformative health workforce agenda across the globe.…”
