Summary

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman';"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The evaluation of training efficacy is one of the challenges of today's organizations. In this article we present the results of an evaluation carried out in order to measure transfer of a training plan about the rational use of medicines addressed to 1550 health professionals. Data is collected by means of a survey to the trainee, two months after the training program. Results show that most of the trainees have improved their professional performance, in special the duties related to the selection and use of medicines. Key factors for transfer are also detected, such as motivation and support from the organization. In the paper, we reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the training plan so as to help other researchers and practitioners to advance towards improving transfer of training and the efficacy of training.  </span></p>
