Virtual academy of women's health
Abstract
In this paper, we explored to develop a new concept of computer- and internet-based learning and training method in medicine, especially in obstetrics and gynecology, which is named as Virtual Academy of Women’ Health (VA). Especially in the times of infectious disease pandemics worldwide, learning at home rather than in big lectures hall, might be necessary and practical as never before. The VA is based on worldwide knowledge in medicine—free accessible on the internet—in terms of homepages, video and audio platforms, scientific papers, medical books, and different guidelines. A collection of different video-clips in various fields of women's health can assist the student or doctor in understanding the symptoms, diagnostics, and treatment of various diseases. There are two major targets of it—one is online education, and one is testing the knowledge by simulation of clinical cases.
