Abstract
AbstractChronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) are the most significant causes of death globally. In Thailand, NCDs have increased 10.4% and 11%, respectively, since 2002. Thus, there is a compelling need in Thailand to enhance the capacity for research aimed at improving both NCD prevention and care. A survey was conducted of current multi-disciplinary doctorally prepared faculty (n=115) to determine perceived NCD research training needs. The results of this survey showed that the greatest exposure to NCD was in clinical practice, followed by teaching NCD content, and then research. Few researchers published their findings in journals. All responders reported needing significant support in research design, methods and statistical analysis procedures. These results were used to guide the development of a post-doctoral training program for NCD research in Thailand. After three years of the training program, we found that trainee applicants’ preferences and choices were aligned with the original survey-based planning.
