We evaluated the Community Health Officer (CHO) training program in northern Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, India. A longitudinal study was conducted among 110 CHO trainees from August 2019 to January 2020. The trainees undertook field visits and survey with lectures and clinical postings. Evaluation was based on pre- and post-Multiple Choice Question tests, the WHO Education of Health Personnel Checklist, Journals, and Logbooks. MannWhitney U-test, Wilcoxon-rank test were used to compare nonnormal variables while t-test was used for comparison of age. Initially, nursing graduates performed better than Ayurveda graduates, especially in punctuality, grasp on problems, and problem-solving ability. Nursing graduates kept better journals and logbooks. Female trainees performed better than male trainees. Ayurveda and nursing graduates were comparable at the end of the training. Need-based training and upskilling of mid-level healthcare providers can be done at scale by roping in medical colleges.
我们评估了印度马哈拉施特拉邦艾哈迈德纳加尔北部地区的社区卫生官员（CHO）培训计划。2019 年 8 月至 2020 年 1 月期间，对 110 名 CHO 受训者进行了一项纵向研究。受训者通过实地考察和调查、讲座和临床实习来进行学习。评估基于多项选择题测试前和后的成绩、世卫组织卫生人员教育检查表、期刊和日志。使用曼-惠特尼 U 检验、威尔科克森秩检验来比较非正态变量，使用 t 检验来比较年龄。最初，护理专业毕业生的表现优于阿育吠陀专业毕业生，尤其是在守时、掌握问题和解决问题的能力方面。护理专业毕业生的日志和日志记录保持得更好。女性受训者的表现优于男性受训者。在培训结束时，阿育吠陀和护理专业的毕业生表现相当。可以通过医学院的参与，按需求对中级医疗保健提供者进行培训和技能提升。
