Applications of network-based education in lifelong medical education

Abstract

Lifelong medical education extends medical education beyond the limitations of school education, expands the entire living and working spaces for medical workers, and meets the learners' needs for self-development and self-improvement. Online education abandons the traditional education system, gives full play to the network-based educational function and rich medical education resource advantages, provides medical workers with a kind of online teaching and learning environment, and carries out non-face-to-face learner-centered educational activities. Online education has many advantages to meet the desires of various groups of people for knowledge. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014.
