Medical Community Benefits from LMS Training

By Russel Simons

The ancient Greeks understood the importance of self-knowledge. And as our world becomes more globalized and cross-cultural, cultural understanding is increasingly important. With the abundance of information on the web, there is still much to learn about these topics. This is where LMS training may help.

Unless you're a medical student or practitioner, you're probably unfamiliar with at least half of the hundreds of activities that are taking place in your body as you read this article. Personally I know I'm one of those people.

Though LMS training is often used to supplement face-to-face training for medical professionals, there is also online courseware available for anyone who is interested in medical matters. Dental hygiene, gerontology, pharmacy, nursing, and food and nutrition are just a few health care options online.

Within the medical field, online LMS training provides a great deal of functionality.

Cultural sensitivity is increasingly important for medical management, and is being taught via LMS online courses in many organizations. Aetna is one health insurance provider that utilizes online courseware to train nurses and doctors in cross-cultural issues.

Stemming in part from the fact that many Latinos in the U.S. come from countries in which health care is free, chronic diseases like diabetes disproportionately affect this demographic.

Also, strong doctor-patient bonds and communication are prevented by language barriers.

LMS training can help doctors and nurses overcome these problems, by providing training videos and Spanish resources that inform medics about different topics.

Just like any training program, whether it's LMS training or face-to-face, rewards are important to ensure student success. For instance, Aetna provides credit for continuing education requirements to those who complete the training.

Course developers can use LMSs to create and customize their own training. LMS features may include video and audio; test and assessment; quiz and SCORM Publishing tools. Some also provide screen recordings, demos, and podcast-creation features for full and interactive customization. Online medical information and training are expanding worldwide, partly due to the ease and convenience of LMS training.
