Utah Migrant Council Health Specialist Training Program. Evaluation Report, May 1973.
Jones, Tom; Gisler, John
The project involved 14 trainees who were employed by the Utah Migrant Council prior to their training with 8 trainers. Pre-determined by the basic job descriptions for the Health Specialist, the objectives dealt with two basic factors: trainee knowledge and trainee skills in performing specific tasks. Areas covered by the objectives were infection; the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems; nutrition; ear; pregnancy; labor and delivery; post partum; teeth; child development; illness in children; migrant environment; and health education. Classroom instruction, review sessions, consultant presentations, individual and small group instruction, role playing, case studies, and hands-on personal practice by the trainees were used in the training. Daily evaluations were conducted to provide the trainers constant feedback on a daily basis to determine how the trainees were progressing. Mid-point and final evaluations were conducted to determine the knowledge and skill levels of the trainees. Daily information was obtained through review sessions, laboratory observations and quizzes, individualized oral reviews and quizzes, daily reports from the trainees and trainers, attendance reports, and trainer de-briefing sessions. Mid-point and final evaluations were obtained via written examinations, oral questions, laboratory applications, and group problem solving. Overall, both the trainees and the trainers felt the project had been successful. (NQ)
