ABSTRACT
A one-semester, non-degree public health training program for staff of various levels of health agencies in Taiwan conducted at the School of Public Health, University of Massachusetts, Amherst during 1984-88 is described. The project's evolvement, organization, specific training objectives and methodology, operation, cost, and evaluation are reviewed. Attention is paid to training feasibility and the advantages of avoiding third-party sponsoring agencies in international projects.
