Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Limited online resources exist for Spanish-language continuing medical education (CME).
  • Information technology provides a platform for internet-based medical training.
  • A topical website was developed to address the need for Spanish-language minimally invasive surgery content.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the experience and user engagement of a Spanish-language website focused on minimally invasive surgery.
  • To assess the feasibility and challenges of online CME in Spanish.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive analysis of server log files (April 2001-January 2005) to study website activity.
  • Analysis of registered user database to determine user characteristics.

  • Utilized website registry information and server log files for data collection.

    • Main Results:

    • The website recorded 107,941 visits and 624,895 page downloads.
    • The majority of visits originated from Spanish-speaking countries.
    • General surgeons constituted the most frequent user profile among registered individuals.

    Conclusions:

    • Online CME initiatives in Spanish demonstrate promise for medical education.
    • Developing and evaluating internet-based CME presents unique challenges.
    • The website successfully reached its target audience, indicating a demand for Spanish-language surgical training resources.
