Mae Tao Clinic became a key training site due to access to skilled trainers—from Burmese doctors and senior medics to international specialists—and the high patient caseload that enables hands-on practice. Despite the challenges of travelling from inside Burma through conflict zones and checkpoints, participants from across the country make the journey to join the trainings. MTC provides food, accommodation, training materials, and basic stipends, although support for travel remains limited. Space, teaching equipment, and trainer availability continue to be challenges, though funding support from some partner NGOs helps reduce the financial burden.

Training diverse groups from different social, cultural, and political backgrounds and varying education levels is demanding. The training program remains a critical pathway for strengthening community-based health services both along the border and inside Myanmar.

Between 2023 and 2024, a total of 697 health workers participated in multiple training programs. This included 193 in maternal and child health (MCH), 214 in Level II medic training, 57 in Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EmONC), 12 in dental training, 56 in nurse aide training, 16 in clinical supervision, 69 in community health work (CHW), 18 in basic ultrasound, and 32 public health interns. In addition, 30 students began a three-year Bachelor of Nursing program in 2023.
