title: New training for new roles.
abstract: Assistant medical practitioners in Sri Lanka are justifiably dissatisfied with their training, which should be modified so that they are enabled to function more effectively in the country's predominantly rural communities. Furthermore, in order to motivate these health professionals to the greatest possible extent, they should be offered an attractive career structure.
