“…Videoconferencing systems have experienced significant growth in recent years because of increased digital transmission options at reduced costs, vast improvements in video compression technologies, and improvements in the systems with an associated decrease in their cost. Several studies have Enhancing rural physician CME/CPD e503 demonstrated that CME/CPD videoconferencing is popular with rural physicians (Langille et al 1998;Davis & McCracken 2002;Klein et al 2005;Ricci et al 2005;Greenwood & Williams 2008), and is as effective, if not better, than faceto-face CME/CPD in increasing knowledge in a variety of clinical topic areas (Hampton et al 1994;Ricci et al 2005;Rossaro et al 2007;Miller et al 2008).…”

Background: Recruitment and retention of rural physicians is vital for rural health care. A key deterrent to rural practice has been identified as professional isolation and access to continuing medical education/continuing professional development (CME/CPD). Aims: The purpose of this article is to review and synthesize key themes from the literature related to CME/CPD and rural physicians to facilitate CME/CPD planning. Methods: A search of the peer-reviewed English language literature and a review of relevant grey literature (e.g., reports, conference proceedings) was conducted. Results: There is robust evidence demonstrating that the CME/CPD needs of rural physicians are unique. Promising practices in regional CME/CPD outreach and advanced procedural skills training and other up-skilling areas have been reported. Distance learning initiatives have been particularly helpful in increasing access to CME/CPD. The quality of evidence supporting the overall effect of these different strategies on recruitment and retention is variable. Conclusion: Supporting the professional careers of rural physicians requires the provision of integrated educational programs that focus on specific information and skills. Future research should examine the linkage between enhanced CME/CPD access and its effect on factors related to retention of physicians in rural communities. A proposed framework is described to aid in developing CME/CPD for rural practitioners.

“…Prior studies have shown success in videoconference-based training (Clifton, Byer, Heaton, Haberman & Gill, 2003). In a comparative study of face-to-face and videoconference-based training, no significant difference was found for clinicians (Miller et al, 2008) and patient interview (Kobak, Williams, Jeglic, Salvucci, & Sharp, 2008). Videoconferencing was also found to be successful for orthopedic consultations (Baruffaldi, Maderna, Ricchiuto, & Paltrinieri, 2004).…”

This study looks at videoconference-based training for medical professionals. Four videoconference locations in the USA were connected to a videoconference center in Ethiopia to provide HIV/AIDS training for medical professionals. The training was conducted for 6 weeks. The overall research question guiding this study was: Can videoconferencing serve as an effective medium to facilitate training between high-and low-income countries? The study addresses participants' perception of videoconferencing as a potential training medium. Furthermore, the study explores implications of the training using communities of practice theory. Constraining and promoting factors for videoconferencing were identified from communication media choice and systems analysis and design theories. Survey questionnaires and open-ended questions were used to collect data. The findings show promise for videoconference-based training that can bridge the knowledge gap in low-income countries by linking them with high-income countries. We also found support for communities of practice attributes including access to experts, knowledge transfer, sharing experience, and sense of community. The paper concludes with three lessons learned with implications for research and practice including cultural context, IT infrastructure, and sustainable community of practice.

“…A qualidade do áudio/ vídeo e adequação da conexão são fatores que também interferem na opinião dos participantes quanto à utilização da videoconferência nestas atividades [9][10][11][12][13] . Outro fator importante foi a organização cuidadosa da atividade que envolveu a seleção adequada dos conteúdos, a utilização do material gráfico interativo e coerente aos conteúdos ministrados na capacitação, o recurso de aulas expositivas divididas em módulos com intervalos para perguntas, o uso de imagens e vídeos para ilustrar os conceitos a serem adquiridos e a presença do tutor na sala que recebeu o curso de educação permanente foram fatores que provavelmente também contribuíram para o êxito da atividade 26,27 .…”

“…Conclusão: a videoconferência foi uma ferramenta válida e aceita pelos profissionais estudados para ser utilizada em programas de capacitação em saúde auditiva infantil. A videoconferência como instrumento frente às atividades de educação permanente em saúde é recente no país [4][5] , mas experiências internacionais acumuladas até o presente momento evidenciaram não somente resultados positivos, com a mudança do comportamento do profissional após a capacitação, como também grande aceitação do recurso tecnológico para estas atividades [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] .

RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar a videoconferência como ferramenta instrucional na capacitação dos agentes comunitários de saúde, em saúde auditiva infantil, sob a perspectiva destes profissionais. Método: a casuística foi composta por 50 agentes comunitários de saúde, divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos de acordo com a metodologia de ensino: 31 profissionais participaram da capacitação de forma presencial e 19 por meio de videoconferência. A atividade ocorreu em um encontro de oito horas, por meio de aulas expositivas e utilizando material didático adaptado e validado para o português proposto pela Organização Mundial da Saúde de forma simultânea para ambos os grupos. A avaliação da videoconferência como ferramenta instrucional foi realizada por meio de questionário elaborado para o presente estudo. Resultados: a avaliação da videoconferência foi muito semelhante em ambos os grupos, sendo que a ferramenta de ensino foi considerada como de fácil entendimento e permitindo a interação com o ministrante. Conclusão: a videoconferência foi uma ferramenta válida e aceita pelos profissionais estudados para ser utilizada em programas de capacitação em saúde auditiva infantil.
