On-the-Job Training

On-the-Job Training (OJT) is the most common and practical method for staff development, a key topic for Zambian tertiary health students. OJT involves learning by doing under the guidance of an experienced colleague or supervisor. Students explore its application in Zambian healthcare settings for training new nurses, lab technicians, or administrative staff. Understanding the advantages (cost-effective, relevant) and challenges (inconsistency, potential for bad habits) of OJT is vital for exams and for future managers to design effective, structured training programs that build competence quickly, ensure quality standards, and support continuous skill development within Zambia's health workforce.
