For some family medicine supervisors working in rural and remote areas, access to face-to-face training is problematic. They need distance training programs designed specifically for them.
To study the advantages, disadvantages, and feasibility of a training program for these supervisors that is delivered over the Internet.
This was a pilot project for international on-line training consisting of a platform of courses and a collaborative type of Web conferencing that ran for 2 hours each week for 5 weeks. The training focused on the acquisition of teaching skills and the use of information and communications technology, and included discussions on topics related to practising and teaching in rural areas.
Such a program is feasible and economical. The main difficulties are recruiting participants, keeping them in the program, and the amount of time spent on development and supervision. Participants who persevered reported high levels of satisfaction. The content of this type of training, barriers to participation, and the role of distance education in rural supervisor training programs remain to be explored.
对于一些在农村和偏远地区工作的家庭医学督导人员来说，获得面对面培训存在问题。他们需要专门为他们设计的远程培训项目。
研究为这些督导人员提供的通过互联网进行的培训项目的优点、缺点和可行性。
这是一个国际在线培训的试点项目，包括一个课程平台和一种协作式网络会议，每周运行2小时，共5周。培训侧重于教学技能的获取和信息通信技术的使用，并包括关于农村地区实践和教学相关主题的讨论。
这样的项目是可行且经济的。主要困难在于招募参与者、让他们留在项目中以及在开发和监督上花费的时间。坚持下来的参与者报告了很高的满意度。这种培训的内容、参与的障碍以及远程教育在农村督导培训项目中的作用仍有待探索。
