简要总结
A randomized controlled Trial to evaluate the internet based CME for wet cupping providers in Saudi Arabia
详细描述
Research problem:
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is widely used in Saudi Arabia. As wet-cupping practice regulation and licensing had been established the need increased to develop a system of Continuing Medical Education (CME) for wet-cupping providers. E-learning grown steadily to become a popular approach in medical education with the fast-evolving technologies made it possible to develop and implement a high-quality Internet-based CME. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Internet-based CME with conventional CME in the field of complementary medicine.
Research Significance:
Aiming to control the training to guarantee evidenced-based quality care while facing the challenge of increased number of licensed cupping providers who needs CME hours to maintain and improve their practice. There is a need for a study to evaluate if the internet-based technique can help overcome the challenge and to increase the number and improve the quality of CME activities.
