| Resumo em Inglês | Use of technology enabled learning for distance
education in the health field is growing, and new
challenges are emerging related to reaching health
professionals working in remote areas. The Open
University of the Unified Health System (UNA SUS) promotes Continuing Professional
Development and uses Technology Enhanced
Learning (TEL) for distance education to
theBrazilian health workforce, mainly in primary
care. Methods: As part of ongoing quality
assurance assessments, we performed a descriptive
analysis of courses, learners, and completion rates
from all enrolments in UNA-SUS for Qualification
and Specialisation Courses. Data were collected
directly from the UNA-SUS information system.
Results: From March 2008 to October 2015 (91
months), UNA-SUS had 206,834 enrolments in 40
Specialisation Courses and 60 Qualification
Courses, reaching 119,109 professionals (mean - 1.7
courses per person). These were distributed
amongst 5,199 Brazilian municipalities, 59% of
which had a population of 10,000 to 50,000
inhabitants. Learners were mainly women (80.6%),
nurses (26.4%), and working in primary care
(39.8%). Completion rates were 67.3% for
Specialisation Courses and 37.9% for Qualification
Courses, which were self-instructional. Reaching
93% of all Brazilian cities and 119,109 learners,
UNA-SUS was able to deliver health education to
health professionals (physicians, nurses, and
others) in rural and other areas of shortage such as
indigenous districts and metropolitan outskirts.
UNA-SUS has succeeded in expanding ten-fold the
seats for Specialisation Courses for family health,
and has good results in TEL Qualification Courses.
UNA-SUS has innovated Continuing Professional
Development for health professionals in Brazil.
These courses responded to the previously
unattended educational needs of the workforce,
focusing on reaching primary care professionals in
smaller towns and remote areas. UNA-SUS is
consolidating itself as a nationwide provider of
continuing education. | pt_BR |
