Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an introductory educational planning workshop on perception of teaching competencies by medical educators. A questionnaire containing twenty-seven teaching competencies (TC) was administered before and after the workshop. The twenty-five participants, from four different countries, were asked to rate each TC regarding its importance for teachers and whether they possessed them or needed further training. The results showed that this workshop created more awareness regarding the importance of these TCs and also created a need for further training for specific TCs in order to put educational principles into practice.
