Learning Objective:
By the end of presentation participants will be able to:
1. Identify key components in designing and producing an internet-based clinical training on viral hepatitis.
2. Identify successes and obstacles in creating curriculum and online content for an internet-based clinical training.
3. Describe available data on user profiles and satisfaction with the online hepatitis cases.
Background:
The Seattle STD/HIV Prevention Training Center and partners at the University of Washington developed an interactive case-based training website for delivery of core content in viral hepatitis recognition, management, and prevention. Seventeen cases are available for continuing education credit at no cost. Content was developed by an editorial board composed of national experts in clinical management, epidemiology, and prevention of viral hepatitis.
Setting:
Online
Population e.g. API Youth, MSM, IDU:
Health care providers serving patients at risk for viral hepatitis, including vulnerable and high-risk groups.
Project Description:
Participants will be guided through the design and content development process of the website, with review of the final product. Preliminary results of evaluation data, marketing plans, and areas of need for future case focus will be discussed.
Results/Lessons Learned:
Internet-based training products are a highly acceptable and accessible vehicle for delivery of viral hepatitis training to an audience focused on clinical, prevention, and educational activities. The initial formative process led to a site structure that is easy to navigate and to development of content that is both relevant and interesting to clinicians. Presentation of key educational concepts with innovate and highly visual graphics markedly enhanced the site's appeal. Site marketing focused on email networks of providers within the Nation Network of Prevention Training Centers and the National AIDS Education Training Centers. Additional marketing efforts will be needed for inclusion of clinicians in rural areas. Internet-based clinical training offers the potential to increase access to viral hepatitis training.
