Despite outdated claims made by organizers of commercial courses and unqualified individuals, who argue that "Training of the Trainer" (TOT) courses and "Teaching (Instruction) Methods" courses are fundamentally different because TOT courses aim to equip trainers with essential skills, while Teaching (Instruction) Methods courses focus on facilitating the learning of knowledge. World-class experts in the field of medicine confirm that, in practice, these two types of courses are closely related, and both courses share a common goal: to provide trainers and instructors with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively teach and conduct training.Experts further emphasize that the training and teaching (Instruction) methods used in these courses are virtually identical. Courses offered in academic settings, such as universities, are typically referred to as Teaching or Instruction Methods courses, while those held in training centers are commonly known as TOT courses.The book describes a training and teaching methods course [A training of the trainers (TOT) course] for physicians, which was conducted at the National Tuberculosis Center from September 29 to October 2, 2024.
