The Pacific Open Learning Health Net: Providing Health Education in the Pacific
Abstract
Online learning offers the opportunity for health workers to improve their knowledge and skills while serving in remote locations. Through online continuing professional development, they are able to stay abreast of the latest developments in medicine. Convenient Internet access also provides the opportunity for health professionals to participate with the global medical community in research and consult with both peers and experts from around the world. This chapter describes the experiences of the Pacific Open Learning Health Net (POLHN) in providing online, face-to-face, and blended professional education to health professionals in 12 developing Pacific island countries. The chapter reviews the establishment of learning centers with Internet access in hospitals, nursing schools, and health centers.
