The modality was 150 hours (120 remote and 30 in-person), except for the years 2020 and 2021 when it was only remote due to COVID-19. The Moodle platform version 3.5.1 of the virtual classroom of the INTA, University of Chile was used, and the presencial event was in the host city of each Health Service. The contents were organized into modules and units, with permanent tutorial support and evaluation of learning, the complete program and students´satisfaction.
Results:
The approval of the Course was 93% and the average final grade was 6.3 out of 7. The follow-up survey showed that 73% achieved some job change; 72% applied what they learned and implemented their final work, with satisfaction close to 100%.
