Provide a. 5-day effective teaching skills (ETS) training of trainers (ToT) for anesthesia faculty During routine coaching and mentorship visits conducted in Year 4, it has been observed that most of the faculty in newly established anesthesia teaching programs have not had basic training on teaching methodology. In order to address this gap which is further compounded by the high turnover of anesthesia faculty, the HRH Project will provide an Effective Teaching Skills training of trainers (TOT) for 30 anesthesia faculty, who are then expected to cascade these trainings to other faculty in their respective institutions. This training will create an opportunity for the EAA to co-facilitate sessions thus building their capacity to provide similar trainings in the future.
Provide a. 5-day simulation training of trainers (ToT) for anesthesia faculty The HRH Project has been supporting simulation training for instructors and skill lab assistants across all universities and colleges. However, unlike other cadres, there are no anesthesia skill lab assistants in most institutions, therefore requiring that anesthesia faculty receive simulation training as they are expected to manage the skills labs. Simulation training also provides an opportunity to teach faculty how to utilize a range of high-fidelity simulators procured and distributed by the HRH Project. A 5 day simulation TOT will be provided for anesthesia faculty with the EAA providing co-training support. The trained faculty will be expected to cascade these trainings to other faculty in their respective institutions.
Provide a. 5-day clinical teaching skills (CTS) training of trainers (ToT) for anesthesia preceptors As a result of the shortage in the number of anesthesia faculty, the clinical education of anesthesia professionals relies significantly on preceptors (anesthetists practicing at health facilities). Efforts have been made by the HRH Project in the past four years to train anesthesia preceptors. However, because of high attrition, there is a need to provide additional clinical trainings skills (CTS) for preceptors who have not yet been trained, to ensure that they can effectively support student during clinical practicums. The HRH Project will provide CTS training for 30 preceptors in Year 5, who will then be expected to cascade these trainings to other preceptors in their respective institutions.
Provide a. 5-day instructional design (ID) training of trainers (TOT) for anesthesia faculty Following the accreditation of anesthesia teaching institutions to provide CPD courses for anesthesia professionals, it is important to build the capacity of faculty at these institutions to design and develop training packages in line with the national standards. These skills are also required to review/update the national generic BSc. anesthesia curriculum, which is planned for this year. The HRH Project will provide instructional design TOT training for 30 faculty, who can then cascade the training at their institutions (through Fixed Amount Awards, see result 3 below), and support the EAA in developing future in-service training packages as part of CPD. The Project will also explore the feasibility of providing this training online instead of face-to- face.
Provide a. 5-day effective teaching skills training of trainers (TOT) for midwifery faculty To ensure that there is an adequate pool of faculty available to provide effective teaching skills training, the HRH Project will provide a 5-day TOT for midwifery faculty, who will then be expected to cascade similar trainings in their respective institutions. During this training, advisors from EMwA will co-train with Jhpiego advisors thus building their capacity to provide similar trainings in the future.
Provide a. 5-day simulation training for midwifery skill lab assistants Attrition of trained faculty and skills lab assistants continues to be a challenge to providing clinical education at most institutions. The HRH Project will provide a 5-day simulation training for midwifery skill lab assistants at institutions where there has been attrition. EMwA staff will join as co-trainers so as to build their capacity to provide future trainings.
