The timely solutions to the challenges are crucial to maintain interest and reduce attrition of the physicians enrolled in the program. The M & E plan also serves as a mechanism for supportive supervision for the successful conduct of the contact sessions being held every month during the program. This component will also aid in gaining experience for successfully scaling the certification program in the coming years.
