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).
