The provision of appropriate education and training for health care workers is essential to ensure effective and efficient utilization of their services. Organising multiprofessional learning, providing opportunities for continuing education and utilising of new trends in medical education facilitates achievement of the desired outcome in health care. The delivery of health care is a team effort. Thus, it is beneficial that the members of the health care team are trained together. Such training would provide opportunity to recognise the capabilities and job functions of the fellow health care professionals by the trainees. Similarly, by organising continuing education programmes for health care workers already in service it would strengthen their confidence and also improve the quality of their services. For these purposes, new trends in medical education could be utilised. Asia Pac J Public Health 2002; 14(1): 40 - 43
