The population was consisting of 86 staff who were selected randomly. The population of this study was physicians that working in Health centers of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Data was collected through "Productivity Questionnaire of Hersi & Goldsmith". This questionnaire was completed before and after the study by physicians. The intervention group received in-service training for 51 hours. Before and after the intervention physicians completed questionnaires of productivity. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16. Paired t-test was used to compare the data in both groups before and after the intervention. Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the mean score of physicians' productivity before and after of in-service training. (P<0.05). The subscales include motivation and performance evaluation also increased after intervention. (P<0.05). Conclusion: The in-service trainingin physicians can improved a number of components of productivity. Therefore, it is recommended to improve the factors affecting productivity by enriching the training.
