This paper reports information obtained from 499 participants during the course of a national series of workshops conducted in eleven government medical schools in Indonesia. The information analysed provided an independent check of claims made by previous investigators relating to the extent to which Indonesian medical schools had progressed towards curriculum re-organization consistent with national policy for the reform of undergraduate medical training. The majority of participants had developed and completed course programmes based on instructional objectives, which was seen as being broadly consistent with previous claims. Evidence is presented of continued curriculum-development activity several years after the cessation of external intervention through the national workshop programme. Findings are discussed in relation to national policy and strategies for maintenance of curriculum-development activities after cessation of intervention programmes.
