To identify synergies and gaps in knowledge, skills, and attributes identified by health policy leaders and create a summary measure of congruence with the Health Policy Leadership Fellowship Program curriculum.
We mapped the Health Policy Leadership Fellowship Program curriculum to the most highly ranked knowledge, skills, and attributes identified through the Health Policy Leaders' Training Needs Assessment survey.
Overall, the Health Policy curricular elements had the highest percentage of congruence with the needs assessment Knowledge elements (>60%). The lowest levels of congruence (<30%) occurred most frequently within the Attribute elements.
Mapping an existing program's content and elements to needs perceptions from professionals practicing in the field may help to both inform and evaluate an existing program's ability to attract and meet the needs of target learners. While needs assessments have traditionally been used to help develop programs, this study also demonstrates their application as a process evaluation tool when mapped to existing programs' curricular elements.
确定卫生政策领导人确定的知识、技能和属性的协同作用和差距,并制定与卫生政策领导奖学金课程相符的综合衡量标准。
我们将卫生政策领导奖学金课程与通过卫生政策领导人培训需求评估调查确定的排名最高的知识、技能和属性进行了映射。
总体而言,卫生政策课程要素与需求评估知识要素的一致性最高(>60%)。一致性最低的(<30%)要素通常出现在属性要素中。
将现有项目的内容和要素映射到在该领域实际工作的专业人员的需求认知上,可能有助于了解和评估现有项目吸引和满足目标学习者需求的能力。虽然需求评估传统上被用于帮助开发项目,但本研究还展示了它们在映射到现有项目课程要素时作为过程评估工具的应用。
