This investigation aims to determine the effect of the physical assessment education program on Yogo teachers(teachers for health promotion and health services) using collected photographic images of common injuries in infirmaries and to use this information to help students cultivate the ability to judge the severity and urgency of treatment of external trauma.Nine students in the Yogo teacher training course and twenty-one Yogo teachers participated in the education program, and the effect was determined by conducting tests. The tests were meant to judge the urgency of treatment and severity of the case examples that included photographic images. The same test was conducted before and after the education program. The average numbers of correct answers provided by both students and Yogo teachers were higher after the program than they were before(students and Yogo teachers showed an increase of 24 and 11. 9 points respectively), and there was a significant difference in their performances after the program(p<0. 001). This finding indicates the effectiveness of the education program.
