“…Participants assigned to rural healthcare facilities like primary healthcare facilities (sub-district health facilities) and, secondary health care facilities (district health facilities) have demonstrated better performance in training assessment. This can be explained by the knowledge saturation of the urban participants through easier accessibility of educational modules on COVID-19 [ 19 ].…”

Background As COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, the major focus of healthcare organizations shifted towards preparing healthcare systems to handle the inevitable COVID-19 burden at different phases and levels. A series of in-person training programs were operated in collaboration with government and partner organizations for the healthcare workers (HCW) of Bangladesh. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of HCWs regarding SARS-CoV-2 infection, their case management, infection prevention and control to fight against the ongoing pandemic. Methods As a part of the National Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19 in Bangladesh, the training program was conducted at four district-level hospitals and one specialized hospital in Bangladesh from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. A total of 755 HCWs participated in the training sessions. Among them, 357 (47%) were enrolled for the evaluation upon completion of the data, collected from one district hospital (Feni) and one specialized hospital (National Institute of Mental Health). Results The mean percentage of pre-test and post-test scores of all the participants were found to be 57% (95% CI 8.34–8.91; p 0.01) and 65% (95% CI 9.56–10.15; p <0.001) respectively. The difference of score (mean) between the groups was significant (p<0.001). After categorizing participants’ knowledge levels as poor, average and fair, doctors’ group has shown to have significant enhancement from level of average to fair compared to that of the nurses. Factors associated with knowledge augmentation of doctors were working in primary health care centers (aOR: 4.22; 95% CI: 1.80, 9.88), job experience less than 5 years (aOR: 4.10; 95% CI: 1.01, 16.63) and experience in caring of family member with COVID-19 morbidity (aOR: 2.06; 95% CI: 1.03, 4.10), after adjusting for relevant covariates such as age, sex and prior COVID-19 illness. Conclusion Considering the series of waves of COVID-19 pandemic with newer variants, the present paper underscores the importance of implementing the structured in-person training program on case management, infection prevention and control for the HCWs that may help for successful readiness prior to future pandemics that may further help to minimize the pandemic related fatal consequences.

“…The question of the use of this form of education in medical schools remains debatable. On the one hand, the advantages of distance education are the ability to teach a large number of students, facilitating the learning process, in the case of learning for the disabled, manufacturabilitylearning using modern software and hardware makes e-learning more effective, and usually distance learning is cheaper than regular learning, primarily by reducing the cost of moving, living in another city, reducing the cost of organizing the courses themselves [1,7,8].…”

“…Also, distance learning is an ideal and most optimal form of postgraduate training and advanced training, as it helps to solve a number of problems that arise in an already certified specialist, for example, due to different work shifts and schedules of doctors, different approaches to work and study [8,9]. There is also the possibility of using distance learning technologies in cases of full-time students, for example, in the development of general theoretical courses.…”

Analysis of the state of scientific elaboration of the problem of distance learning in Ukraine and the experience of its implementation in the practice of higher education showed that despite some achievements, this pedagogical problem needs further research. Distance learning improves postgraduate training of doctors. The main purpose of teaching in postgraduate education is to achieve high-quality practical training based on knowledge, skills and abilities in traditional and modern educational technologies. Distance learning is a promising form of pedagogical technologies in the field of medical education, as it is more flexible and corresponds to modern realities of society.

“…Like many education institutes, organizers of medical residency education had to switch to e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. In healthcare e-learning, individual digital skills and understanding of the usefulness of digitalization in practice, along with pedagogical factors, self-motivation and interactive learning methods can be facilitating factors [1,2]. This study contributes to enhancing e-learning for resident physicians in Sweden through the following research question: how do resident physicians perceive and relate to e-learning, and what aspects should be considered when integrating elearning as part of adult learning?…”

Through a literature review in combination with qualitative analysis of course evaluations, this study examines aspects that contribute to enhancing e-learning for physicians in a residency education program. The literature review and the qualitative analysis outline three main factors (pedagogical, technological, and organizational), highlighting the importance of a holistic approach that includes learning and technology in context when integrating e-learning strategies in adult learning programs. The findings contribute insights and practical guidance for education organizers on how to conduct e-learning during and after the pandemic.
