Abstract
Background : Kirkpatrick’s model is one of the suitable methods for assessing educational programs at different levels. The present study is planned to evaluate the impact of the Revised Basic Course Workshop (rBCW) on medical educators. Aims and Objectives : (1) To evaluate the effects of rBCW on response, knowledge, and self-perceived behavior of faculties as per Kirkpatrick’s program evaluation model. (2) To identify the perceived challenges and suggest solutions to bridge the gap. Materials and Methods : An educational intervention was carried out among 28 faculties through the Faculty Development Program followed by a structured follow-up questionnaire. The data was analyzed in terms of percentage, proportions, paired t-test and thematic analysis. Result : The majority (71.4%) were male with a mean age of 36.21 years. All faculties were satisfied, 86.4% either agreed or strongly agreed with quality. Thematic analysis of reflections by participants highlighted a few important aspects of medical education system in terms of themes & subthemes. The increase in knowledge was evaluated by pre and post-test, which was found to be statistically significant (P<0.05). The behavior change was perceived positively by the participants. A few challenges were encountered like pandemic effects, lack of motivation & co-ordination, mismatched resources for which the suggested solutions were refresher training, more aligned resources, etc. Conclusion : All the faculties were satisfied with an increased knowledge & positive change in behavior after rBCW. Yet, it was perceived as inadequate in terms of various challenges during implementation which necessitated the need for the implementation of suggested solutions.
