Last week I talked about the role of continuing education online, or more generally the internet, in our lives as medical professionals. I am an internet buff and I spend most of my free time online. Fortunately, I came across this continuing education online program called “iScience 2011”.
iScience is an all-inclusive digital library that holds all topics, learning materials, and knowledge presented at American College of Cardiology (ACC) 11 and i2 summit. Even if you missed the ACC summit, you can now hear top-of-the-line cardiology experts talk about various topics relevant to our profession. Each presentation you will get with the iScience package includes the speaker’s slides synchronized with an accompanying audio.
Like all other continuing education online activities, the objective of iScience is to keep you up to date on the most recent happenings and discoveries on cardiovascular science, apply all information you gained from the program to your day to day clinical activities, and help you improve patient care. The video resolution of iScience 2011 is better than ever before and it now has a more efficient search capabilities.
I think that this is one of the best examples of the benefits of continuing education online. I know that a lot of cardiologists, advance practice nurses, and all other medical professionals who work with patients in this department wanted to join the ACC 11 and i2 Summit; however, some of their schedules did not allow them to hear experts talk about a variety of cardiology topics. Now, however, you can listen to the exact same presentation at home, while in the clinic, or even when you are on a trip. That, my friend, is the beauty of continuing education online.
To learn more about iScience 2011 you can visit the ACC site. Visit Apollo Audibooks and see many different choices of CME audiobooks.
