Abstract

This paper presents the evaluation findings on effectiveness of gynecological
training programmes organized for field veterinarians in Andhra Pradesh. The
key evaluation questions were on training methodology, relevance of course
content, knowledge and skill improvement, utility of the topics and overall
effectiveness of the programmes. The findings indicated a high relevance of the
contents with overall increase of 29.03 per cent knowledge and skill gain by the
participants. The findings also suggested that field veterinarians’ competencies
have been improved using a combination of theoretical, practical and field
exposure sessions in an organized way. It is recommended to standardize the
curriculum and scale-up training programmes to all field veterinarians as
open education resources to update their competencies.
