Each educational institution evaluates its own program over a period of time and uses its outcomes in order to make some decisions on its advanced development.Therefore, a well-established program evaluation methodology is essential.The medical education field has been utilizing competency-based assessment approaches for several years, and these approaches are now beginning to be adapted and implemented in pharmacy education.This time we aimed to evaluate competency-based pharmacy technician training program outcomes, its effectiveness and graduate work skills.The planning, implementation, and determination of the participants' rolesare significant in evaluating any program, or curriculum.Total of 104 graduates, 17 lecturers from School of Pharmacy at Mongolian National University of Medical Science (MNUMS) and 44 employers participated in this study.Graduates' assessment, a questionnaire with 8 subscales 77 questions was developed based on professional competency of the pharmacy technician training program.An employers assessment questionnaire with 8 subscales 20 questions was developed based on professional competency of the pharmacy technician training program; each question was rated on Likert scale of 1-5.The average score of graduates and employers for each competency was 4.06 and 3.84, separately.The difference between the mean scores of graduates and employers ranged from 0.05 to 0.38 for 8 competency units, and the employers' scores were slightly lower than the graduates'.The average work skill satisfaction scores for employers and graduates were 4.22 and 4.47, respectively; and a correlation analysis found that work skills were significantly and positively related to professional competence.The skills required in the workplace were directly related to the professional competencies, and the level of satisfaction of employers and graduates with the skills required in the workplace was similar.The high level of professional competency assessment of employers and graduates is a testament to the effectiveness of the program.
