Abstract

Increasing staff education needs, limited staff development resources, and retention of valuable staff are issues facing healthcare providers today. This article describes the use of project management methodology to design and implement a Train-the-Trainer (TTT) program. This TTT program describes how to enlist leadership support for staff presentation of educational offerings. The TTT program was designed to retain employees through staff development and meet the educational needs of the healthcare system.
