[E-learning : an effective and necessary complement to the postgraduate training].

The evolution of modern medicine largely influenced the development of new postgraduate training programs, which requirements are more engaging and constraining. Time dedicated to education more and more often comes into competition with the resident's clinical and administrative activities. In this context, E-learning could be an interesting solution, if used complementary to the classical training which does not further overload the clinical activity. By focusing on the recognition of clinical images, and interpretation of functional tests, we target some well known knowledge gaps of our trainees. Our program allows every participant to be exposed to some important, prototypical or rare situations, independent of the clinical exposure. The quality of our program is ensured by the collaboration with several specialty departments of our hospital.
