[Lifelong learning in cardiology: success through innovation : Use of e-learning in further education and training].

Lifelong learning in cardiology is essential, as treatment standards, technologies and drug treatment are constantly evolving. In this respect e‑learning plays a central role, enabling doctors to flexibly and efficiently expand their knowledge. There are various offerings, from medical students and specialist training to highly specialised expert knowledge. The e‑learning platforms have become an indispensable tool in specialist training. Another concept is the combination of face-to-face teaching and e‑learning, known as blended learning. This is particularly effective in medical training. These models enable flexible preparation and follow-up and appeal to different types of learners. Overall, e‑learning offers a valuable resource for flexibly and efficiently acquiring knowledge and keeping up to date.
