eLearning for undergraduate health professional education: a systematic review informing a radical transformation of health workforce development

We live in an era where technology is enabling us to gain knowledge at a speed formerly inaccessible. Information and communication technology (ICT) in particular, is an effective enabler to improve the health of populations, both directly and through improved health workforce capacity and accessibility. 

The Department of Health Workforce in collaboration with the Department of Knowledge, Ethics and Research commissioned this report to provide countries with evidence to inform and guide the adoption of innovative, technology-enabled models into health professional education, so as to augment capacities to scale up production, enhance quality and relevance of training, and adopt equity-focused policies.
