Dynamic knowledge transfer: Efficient learning paths in healthcare and medicine
Innovative learning opportunities in the healthcare sector
The Austrian Academy of Physicians was founded by the Austrian Medical Association as a non-profit organization to promote and continuously develop medical education in Austria. The aim of the Academy of Physicians is to keep medical education up to date and to incorporate the latest didactic findings and innovations into the continuing education system.
Between a lack of time and constant change - challenges in the further education and training of medical staff
In the healthcare sector, continuous education and training is of crucial importance due to the short half-life of medical knowledge. Accordingly, continuous education and training plays a major role in enabling doctors to practice their profession for the benefit of patients and society.
Despite the obligation for continuous further education and training in medical professions, specialists are confronted with a lack of time. In a report, Health at a Glance states that doctors in Austria spend an average of five minutes available per patient.
Solution: More and more efficient learning with microlearning in chunkx
With chunkx, junior doctors in Austria can learn sustainably and flexibly. The integration into the daily work routine is a real relief for doctors. They can repeat learning tasks flexibly from any device.
1. effective learning with the microlearning solution chunkx
With the microlearning solution from chunkx, doctors can cover a lot of learning content in the shortest possible time. The content is broken down into chunks, allowing them to learn quickly and effectively without feeling overwhelmed by extensive learning materials.
The impact of the project in figures
The first five months have already had a major impact: over 150 doctors have learned about ENT and derma in three extensive channels:
210 hours learned with chunkx.
636 completed microlearning units
62% Open rate of email follow-ups
2. flexible further education and training in hectic everyday life
chunkx adapts to doctors’ hectic schedules and is easy to integrate into everyday life. Learning is possible on the cell phone, in the browser and on the tablet. Doctors are also kept up to date with learning summaries, recommendations on new articles or studies and updates. This can be done via email follow-ups. If required, learners can receive their notifications via MS Teams.
3. practice-oriented learning and individual knowledge acquisition
Learning in chunkx is personalized, as the content is delivered to doctors based on their individual level of knowledge. The adaptive algorithms enable a customized learning experience. The learning content is supported by practical images of diagnoses. In this way, a deeper understanding can be promoted and acquired knowledge can be directly integrated into daily work.
Innovation in medical education for sustainable development in the healthcare sector
The project presented illustrates the need for new learning solutions and supportive learning measures in the medical field. In responsible professions, considerable resources are invested in continuing education and training. However, the output is often lower than the input due to various factors, including the abundance of learning content, time constraints, low motivation, theoretical content and lack of individual learning support. Especially after graduation, continuous education and training gains enormous importance due to new findings and rapid developments in many areas. The continuing education and training of doctors is just one example of many, as there are numerous other players in the healthcare sector that require innovative learning solutions for continuing education and training, for example in nursing, therapy and diagnostics.
chunkx extends far beyond the healthcare sector to support companies on their path to continuous and adaptive learning opportunities. This saves resources, embeds content sustainably and offers employees the flexibility to learn from anywhere.
