Reusable Learning Objects as a Resource for Teaching in Family Medicine

Abstract

Educational and operational strategies of distance education –including computer systems, internet and its applications– allow reducing costs associated with professional training and favor the creation of programs to address similar needs of groups whose geographical dispersion would be difficult and expensive to the educational process. The Sub-division of Family Medicine of the Division of Post-graduate Studies of the Faculty of Medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (unam) is expecting to incorporate the Reusable Learning Objects –made by their personal academic– in national and international repositories. Therefore both teachers and students –of the Course of Specialization in Family Medicine– can strengthen their academic and clinical performance.
