    Journal: Recenti Prog Med; 2010 Jun; 101(6):251-2. PubMed ID: 20672573.
    Abstract:
    E-learning is widely used in continuing medical education but three main problems still face health decision makers: the substantial heterogeneity among the characteristics of the web-based educational projects; the concerns about the e-learning effectiveness; the variety of outcomes used to evaluate the effectiveness. Systematic reviews suggest e-learning has effectiveness similar to traditional educational methods.The attention should now be given to how and when can we use e-learning to improve the health workers' performance and better healthcare.
