Formal educational education systems do not expose medical and veterinary academics to the One Health approach to infectious disease management. In order to increase their knowledge and exposure on One Health, Malaysian One Health University Network (MyOHUN) has been conducting number of One Health training programs specifically for medical, veterinary, ecosystem, and health stream academics. However, the effectiveness of the One Health training programmes is unfamiliar. Therefore, a qualitative was conducted to explore the training effectiveness by evaluating the academics' reactions, learning experience, and behavior changes among the academics as a result of the One Health training programs based on Kirkpatrick’s four-level evaluation model. All participants were purposively selected which consist of academics who had joined the signature training programs conducted by MyOHUN between 2015 and 2019. The data were collected through in depth semi-structured interviews and supported with participant observation and field notes. The data were further analysed through coding, categorizing and the development of
the main theme to answer research questions. The findings broadly suggest that three aspects has emerged which includes reactions to the overall training and the structure, learning eexperiences, as well as behavior changes that have positively influenced the training effectiveness. The findings of this study will help MyOHUN to plan and execute the preparation needed in order to increase the effectiveness of One Health training to the all generation in general.
