The knowledge-skill index and attitude scale were developed for evaluating the same. The majority of trainees perceived medium knowledge and skill gain after completion of the course. The knowledge (0.63) gain was predominantly high as compared to skill (0.57) gain among PGDIFamp;AM trainees. The majority (61.33%) of the trainees showed a low to moderately favourable attitude towards PGDIFamp;AM course. The attitude of trainers (0.77) was found highly favourable towards the PGDIFamp;AM course as compared to their attitude (0.68) towards teaching methods (p=0.030). Trainees expressed their concerns about the course content and teaching methods which need to be addressed on priority basis for making learning more effective and compatible with their job profile. The eligibility criteria and structure of the PGDIFamp;AM course needs to be revised through strategic interventions for its wider reach and applicability.
