Training of the trainer for health professionals: sharing experience from Turkey to Tanzania

Participants achieved a mean post-training MCQ score of 17.68 out of 20, corresponding to an overall correct response rate of 88.4%. Scenario-based and interactive learning methods were highly valued, while insufficient training duration and limited technical infrastructure were identified as challenges. Emergency medicine specialists prioritized leadership and coordination skills, whereas general practitioners and residents emphasized educational strategies and program development.The program was feasible and well received, and participants achieved high immediate post-course knowledge scores and reported strong perceived value of scenario-based and trainer-focused learning activities. The findings support role-adapted ToT models for physicians; however, objective measurement of educator and leadership competencies and follow-up assessment of cascade training implementation are needed to determine sustained trainer development.
