Information technologies in modern additional professional education of medical workers

Abstract

Information technologies in modern continuous professional education (CPE) of medical workers are playing an increasingly active role, becoming the basis for the training organization. Aiming to substantiate the strategy for the further development of CPE, we conducted a questionnaire survey of doctors (n=211) immersed in new forms of training using distance learning technologies. Furthermore, regulatory documents were provided that should become a basis for creating conditions for effective training of doctors in real conditions of restrictions on full-time presence. Upon the results of the questionnaire, doctors’ beliefs and assessments were systematized. The most stated problem was the absence of the appropriate learning conditions in the workplace. To date, a legal basis was created for the training of doctors using distance learning technologies. The actual problem is how quickly both doctors and their employers will implement the new norms of the Labor Code in practice.
