Task analysis methodology was used to identify gaps in the education and practice of Medical Licentiates, a cadre of primary care health providers in Zambia, related to the provision of anesthesia. Findings of the analysis indicate that Medical Licentiates who work in facilities where there are no fully qualified anesthesiologists or physicians often feel obligated to provide these services in order to save lives although they lack sufficient formal education or clinical practice opportunities. The government translated the findings into immediate modifications to the education, training and practice of anesthetic tasks by Medical Licentiates by developing an elective course within the pre-service education program and upgrading the certification of Medical Licentiates to a bachelor's degree.
任务分析方法被用于识别赞比亚初级保健医疗服务提供者队伍——执业医师在麻醉服务提供方面的教育与实践差距。分析结果表明，在没有完全合格的麻醉医师或医生的机构工作的执业医师，尽管缺乏足够的正规教育或临床实践机会，但为了挽救生命，他们常常觉得有义务提供这些服务。政府根据这些结果，通过在入职前教育项目中开设选修课程，并将执业医师的认证提升至学士学位，立即对执业医师的麻醉任务教育、培训和实践进行了调整。
