The volunteers had their clinical-assessment skills rapidly sharpened by the lack of diagnostic tools at their disposal, and drew on their collective experience to brainstorm diagnoses and treatment options. The knowledge Kirsty had acquired through the Master of Health Professions Education provided her with a range of skills, including inter-professional collaboration, teaching assessment and feedback strategies. These were all helpful in mentoring the local health workers and collaborating effectively with the other health professionals in her volunteer group.
