“…Furthermore, online training has emerged as a highly flexible and adaptive approach to meet rapidly changing educational needs in the era of COVID-19 and social distancing. Data evaluating online trainings since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic have supported the acceptability, efficacy, and flexibility of online training, as well as the scalability of well-developed e-learning platforms [ 68 – 73 ].…”

Background Achieving World Health Organization (WHO) targets for viral hepatitis elimination will require simplification and decentralisation of care, supported through task-shifting and training of non-specialist frontline healthcare workers. To inform development of national health worker trainings in viral hepatitis, we review and summarise available online and workshop trainings for management of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Methods We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, conference abstracts, and grey literature using Google to identify online and in-person workshop trainings for health workers focused on HBV and/or HCV. Additional trainings were identified through a WHO regional network. We included online trainings written in English and in-person workshops developed for low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Available curricula are summarised together with key operational features (e.g. training length, year developed/updated, developing institution) and programmatic features (e.g. content, mechanism for self-assessment, use of clinical case studies). Results A total of 30 trainings met our inclusion criteria (10 online trainings; 20 in-person workshops). 50% covered both HBV and HCV, 13% HBV alone and 37% HCV alone. Among online trainings, only 2 (20%) were specifically developed or adapted for LMICs; 70% covered all aspects of hepatitis care, including prevention, assessment, and treatment; 9 (90%) included guidance on when to refer to specialists, and 6 (60%) included modules on management in specific populations (e.g., people who inject drugs [PWID], prisoners, and children). Online trainings used different formats including text-based modules, narrated slide-sets, and interactive web-based modules. Most workshops (95%) were targeted towards non-specialty providers, and 50% were an integral part of a national strategy for viral hepatitis elimination. Workshop length ranged from several hours to multiple sessions over the course of months, and many were part of a blended educational model, which included other opportunities for ongoing learning (e.g., telementorship). Conclusion This compendium of online and in-person workshop trainings for HBV and HCV is a useful resource for national hepatitis programmes developing training curricula for non-specialists. Additional online training curricula are needed for use in LMICs, and additional materials are needed to address management challenges in key populations, such as PWID.

“…Clinical education offers one example of the rapid pivot required in the face of COVID-19. As Bauer et al 1 describe in this issue in “Leveraging E-Learning Infrastructure in Times of Rapid Change: Use of the National Sexually Transmitted Diseases Curriculum in the Era of COVID-19,” the authors successfully used an existing e-learning platform to continue to educate clinical and preclinical audiences about STD diagnosis and management.…”

La personalización del aprendizaje es un proceso que organiza los contenidos del sistema considerando las características y desempeño de los usuarios utilizando Inteligencia Artificial. Este artículo presenta el diseño y evaluación de un Sistema Tutor Inteligente para la personalización del aprendizaje a través de estrategias pedagógicas basadas en Razonamiento Basado en Casos sobre protocolos de atención para sífilis gestacional y congénita. La metodología fue cuasiexperimental con dos grupos, experimental y control. La muestra estuvo conformada por 68 estudiantes. El grupo experimental utilizó el STI, mientras que el grupo control recibió la formación a través de clases magistrales. El grupo que utilizó el STI obtuvo un mejor logro de aprendizaje frente al otro grupo que aprendió tradicionalmente este tema. Estos resultados podrían sugerir que el uso de aplicaciones de este tipo, facilitaría la creación de nuevos escenarios que permitan un aprendizaje significativo considerando las características y necesidades de los estudiantes.
