Abstract
Research question: Whether modular teaching can serve as an effective method to train medical officers in DOTS Plus.
Methods: Cross sectional study was undertaken among 31 medical officers in Cuddalore district. Modular method of teaching was used to train medical officers on DOTS Plus by experts trained in Management of MDR Tuberculosis. Pretest and post test was conducted to evaluate their performance and in addition feedback was elicited.
Results: The overall performance was encouraging as there was significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores and percentages (p-value<0.05).
Conclusion: Modular teaching was sucessfully used to train medical officers in DOTS Plus in Cuddalore district
