Continuing medical education (CME) is essential for medical practitioners to update their knowledge and skills periodically to provide clinical care in keeping with the evidence available. Traditional methods of CME such as workshops, conferences, and seminars are helpful to bridge the gaps in practice. With advancing technologies, online format is used to deliver CME with appropriate modifications. Although there are distinct advantages of online CME in regards to wider reach and flexibility, there are certain drawbacks beyond just technological limitations. Interactivity using ingenious ideas may be required to motivate and engage learners during online CME.
继续医学教育(CME)对于医学从业者定期更新知识和技能以根据现有证据提供临床护理至关重要。传统的继续医学教育方法,如讲习班、会议和研讨会,有助于弥合实践中的差距。随着技术的进步,在线形式经过适当修改后用于提供继续医学教育。尽管在线继续医学教育在覆盖面更广和灵活性方面有明显优势,但除了技术限制外还有某些缺点。在在线继续医学教育期间,可能需要运用巧妙的想法进行互动,以激励和吸引学习者。
