Videoconferencing (VC) training for clinicians is as effective as face-to-face (FTF) instruction for learning stroke assessment skills. This accessible and cost-effective method improves continuing education delivery to remote areas.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Medical Education Technology

Background:

  • Continuing education (CE) for remote clinicians increasingly uses videoconferencing (VC).
  • This study compares face-to-face (FTF) and VC training workshop (TW) effectiveness, acceptability, and costs.
  • The TW focused on the Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment for rehabilitation professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of FTF versus VC delivery for a clinical skills training workshop.
  • To assess participant acceptability of VC for continuing education.
  • To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of VC compared to FTF training.

Main Methods:

  • A full-day training workshop on stroke assessment was delivered simultaneously via FTF and VC to five remote communities.
  • Participants completed pre- and post-tests for scoring competency and a feedback questionnaire.

  • A cost comparison between the two delivery formats was conducted.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in post-test scoring competency were found between FTF and VC groups.
    • Participant feedback rated the VC experience as "good" to "excellent," despite technical issues.
    • VC delivery resulted in significant cost savings, a minimum of $7,437 (Canadian).

    Conclusions:

    • Videoconferencing is an effective, well-received, and cost-effective method for delivering continuing education to clinicians.
    • VC enhances access to professional development for healthcare providers in remote locations.
    • Further research into VC for other CE events is recommended.
