Trainee Evaluation of a Human Resources for Health Program in Rwanda

Abstract

Recent global health initiatives have focused on improving human capacity in medical education in low-resource settings. One example is the Rwanda Human Resources for Health (HRH) Program, which pairs US medical faculty with Rwandan colleagues to train resident physicians. We hypothesized that a survey of Rwandan trainees would provide an important perspective on the quality of their education. Indirectly, their feedback could also assess the effectiveness and sustainability of the HRH program.
