TRAINING & EDUCATION
arning provider, Learna, looks at how embracing online learning practices could support greater
variety of medical backgrounds. We have doctors of different disciplines, including care of the elderly practitioners, general physicians, dermatologists, pharmacists, physiotherapists and occupation therapists, whereas on more traditional courses it might be less diverse more medically orientated.
Half of the marks are gained through online discussion, and your engagement with others and responses go a long way to determining your success. In a multidisciplinary environment, people from different backgrounds are answering in different ways, and the interactivity between them allows them to develop new ways of thinking and considering problems.
This way of learning means the care sector is ultimately benefitting from a workforce that has a broader understanding of problems. Multidisciplinary team working is very important in my field of geriatrics, for example, as we work as multidisciplinary teams with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dieticians, all of whom are represented on the course.
And with an ageing population in the western world, multidisciplinary knowledge and training will become even more important. The need to transition away from hospital environments to community and intermediate care means that we will all need a broader set of skills and knowledge to do the job properly.
