The Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences is the only national university in Mongolia and has produced more than 90% of health professionals in the country. Experts from Mongolia and Korea embarked on a collaborative effort to develop educational programs for faculty development based on the personal and professional needs of faculty members. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of those educational programs to determine whether this transnational collaboration was successful.
A needs assessment survey was conducted among 325 faculty members. Based on the results of this survey, the joint expert team developed educational programs on seven core topics: clinical teaching, curriculum development, e-learning, item writing, medical research, organizational culture, and resident selection. Surveys evaluating the satisfaction and the attitudes of the participants were conducted for each program.
Throughout the 17-day program, 16 experts from Korea and 14 faculty members from Mongolia participated as instructors, and a total of 309 participants attended the program. The average satisfaction score was 7.15 out of 8.0, and the attitudes of the participants towards relevant competencies significantly improved after each educational program.
The faculty development programs that were developed and implemented as part of this transnational collaboration between Mongolia and Korea are expected to contribute to the further improvement of health professions education in Mongolia. Future studies are needed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of these educational programs.
蒙古国立医科大学是蒙古国唯一的国立大学,该国90%以上的卫生专业人员都毕业于此。蒙古和韩国的专家基于教职员工的个人和职业需求,共同开展了一项为教师发展制定教育计划的合作。本研究旨在评估这些教育计划的成果,以确定这种跨国合作是否成功。
对325名教职员工进行了需求评估调查。根据调查结果,联合专家团队制定了关于七个核心主题的教育计划:临床教学、课程开发、电子学习、试题编写、医学研究、组织文化和住院医师选拔。针对每个计划进行了评估参与者满意度和态度的调查。
在为期17天的项目中,来自韩国的16名专家和来自蒙古的14名教职员工担任讲师,共有309名参与者参加了该项目。平均满意度得分为7.15(满分8.0),每个教育计划实施后,参与者对相关能力的态度有了显著改善。
作为蒙古和韩国跨国合作一部分而制定和实施的教师发展计划,有望为蒙古国卫生专业教育的进一步改善做出贡献。需要开展未来研究来评估这些教育计划的长期成果。
