Abstract Background The purpose of this paper is to present a complex yet transparent computable model to simulate the regulation of the flow of personnel through a previously described multipleentry multiple-exit eye care training scheme linked to the health workforce. This methodology should be a useful tool for the planner it can address changes and feedbacks over time and be sensitive to any unexpected consequences of the interactions. The same model template can be applied to calculate the finances associated with the personnel flow. Presentation of the hypothesis The worth of any model or set of concepts of human resources for health is considerably enhanced by actual field application. However implementation involves the selection of one set of parameters and a large long-term commitment of resources. A far less expensive and time-consuming yet still effective method of testing assumptions and ideas would be to simulate their application using a variety of possible inputs structural configurations and or desired outcomes.
