Abstract

In the light of recent researches and findings the scope of medical practice must be expanded beyond the core competencies to incorporate additional skills and procedures that improve care for patients and their families. The present paper summarise new educational approaches for ortopaedic medical doctors by the use of a Learning Management Systems delivered through the Internet, within the framework of e-TRAUMA project. e-TRAUMA is an on-going EU funded project under ERASMUS+ programme entitled “e- Training of orthopaedic professionals to decrease morbidity and mortality due to Complex Life Threatening Skeletal Injuries”. The goal of the project is to follow up on the experiences from different national initiatives, but extending the orthopaedic training and focusing on a broader progress program based on a comprehensive multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral and coordinated efforts for management of complex trauma. The e-training environment is multilingual and the presentation tier was adapted to include additional data provided by specific modern investigation methods, functioning as an interactive multimedia database system containing full reports on patients receiving specific treatment. In this way we aim to stimulate resident learning by new approaches, as the development of an innovative e-training method which is able to provide the trainees with a range of standardised protocols and an advanced training curriculum. This will function as a virtual medical environment, similar with the work place and help attune curricula to current and emerging labour market needs and equip the specialists with required skills, by developing active cooperation between HEI and partners from outside academia: hospitals, medical centers, research centers. We are committed to providing the highest possible quality research products to aid in both education and applied clinical decision making In addition, we hope to stimulate interest in solving clinical problems in the field of orthopaedic surgery and to offer personalised support both for the learners but also for the clients (patiens).
