BACKGROUND
The development and maintenance of a high-quality medical education workforce depend on continuing medical education (CME). Traditionally, CME is delivered face-to-face, but due to COVID-19 and geographical distances, it is challenging to conduct professional development activities for several days. Using a webinar on advancement in medical education in the context of the eastern Mediterranean, we aimed to assess the participants' perspectives towards the professional development activity using a synchronous learning approach.
METHODS
We used a cross-sectional survey-based study design. We invited faculty members from King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS) and United Arab Emirates University for Health Sciences (UAEU). We assessed their perspectives on the relevance of the content and effectiveness of the activity on their knowledge and skills after the two days' webinar series. A self-designed questionnaire was administered post-webinar immediately. Open-ended responses were analyzed thematically.
RESULTS
One hundred thirty-six registered healthcare professionals attended day 1, and 97 registered participants joined on the second day of the webinar. Most participants appreciated the diversity of the contents, the quality of the presentations, and the expertise of the facilitators. They reported that the content optimized their knowledge and understanding of new concepts such as assessment in simulation teaching, programmatic assessment, insight into the implementation of IPE and EPAs in CBME, and so on. The e-learning platform's user accessibility, online tutor interaction, and the addition of more scenario-based case studies were all recommended for improvement.
CONCLUSION
Overall the two days webinar series presentations were informative and highlighted the transformation in medical practices. Suggestions to improve the quality of the webinars and content were discussed.
背景
高质量医学教育工作队伍的发展与维持依赖于继续医学教育（CME）。传统上，继续医学教育以面对面的形式开展，但由于新冠疫情以及地理距离的因素，开展为期数天的专业发展活动具有挑战性。我们利用一场关于东地中海地区医学教育进展的网络研讨会，旨在通过同步学习方法评估参与者对该专业发展活动的看法。
方法
我们采用了基于横断面调查的研究设计。我们邀请了沙特国王阿卜杜勒阿齐兹健康科学大学（KSAU - HS）和阿联酋健康科学大学（UAEU）的教员。在为期两天的网络研讨会系列结束后，我们评估了他们对内容相关性以及该活动对其知识和技能有效性的看法。网络研讨会结束后立即发放一份自行设计的问卷。对开放式回答进行主题分析。
结果
136名注册医疗专业人员参加了第一天的活动，97名注册参与者参加了网络研讨会的第二天。大多数参与者赞赏内容的多样性、演示文稿的质量以及主持人的专业知识。他们报告说，这些内容优化了他们对新概念的知识和理解，如模拟教学中的评估、程序性评估、对基于能力的医学教育中跨专业教育（IPE）和能力评估（EPA）实施的洞察等。大家建议改进电子学习平台的用户可及性、在线导师互动，并增加更多基于情景的案例研究。
结论
总体而言，为期两天的网络研讨会系列讲座内容丰富，突出了医学实践中的变革。讨论了提高网络研讨会质量和内容的建议。
