ABSTRACT
Videoconferencing teaching
methods are commonly used in medical education to deliver multi-site teaching.
However, many studies have shown problems relating to this type of teaching
[1-9]. In the South East region of Scotland, videoconferencing teaching for
foundation doctors is conducted between three hospital sites. Poor feedback
about the quality of this teaching prompted the investigators to perform a
quality improvement study to explore problems with videoconferencing in this
setting, and if applicable, apply interventions to improve this teaching. After
a literature review, a data collection tool was created and distributed to
doctors participating in this teaching. Thirteen questionnaires were completed
which highlighted problems mainly relating to technology and poor interaction
between sites. As a result of these findings, the investigators have
implemented interventions to rectify these issues and ultimately improve the
teaching that this region delivers.
