Field Assessments: Quality Control in ZIMFETP

February 25, 2020

As part of the competency based training programme, residents spend 16 months in the field attached to a training site under the supervision of experienced mentors, most of which are also alumni of the programme. A field policy manual is used to guide residents on field activities and quarterly assessments are conducted by the health studies office to track the progress of each trainee. Weaker trainees are quickly identified and remedial action is taken to ensure quality of graduates is maintained.
