IMPGSS - International Medical Program Global Satellite System

Abstract

The advantages and disadvantages of advanced medical education content delivery via different C currently commercially available means such as satellite, internet subscriber digital network (ISDN) lines and the Internet are being examined in-depth. A viable and adaptable Transmission Configuration profile, with a range of associated utilization parameters and capabilities, will result as a basis for cost-efficient, value-added advanced medical education content dissemination. This Transmission Configuration profile will be highly relevant and adaptable to country content delivery strategies where a reasonably effective wide area network (WAN) is available. The range of offerings will encompass one-way through highly interactive expert/participant sessions with possibly segmented (segmented with different physical or electronic positioning of session moderators/managers/leaders) local/regional and international panel leaders. Additionally, the use of different software, techniques, electronic educational tools, system integration approaches in combination with adaptation of evaluation/feedback input allowed by the recent evolution of available electronic education software, provides the basis for designing content delivery strategies that result in more effective knowledge transfer. The end result will lead to an enhanced ability to better leverage the knowledge transfer and exchange process.
