Serbest, Açık Erişimli Tıp Eğitimi

Günümüzde internet ve sosyal medya kullanımı oldukça yaygındır. Serbest, açık eri̇şi̇mli̇ tıp eği̇ti̇mi (FOAM); interneti ve sosyal medya platformlarını kullanarak kısa bir sürede geniş bir kitleye ulaşabilmiştir. Sürekli, kolay erişilebilir, ücretsiz ve coğrafi kısıtlılıklardan etkilenmeyen bir tıbbi bilgi kaynağı oluşturmuş olan FOAM ‘a ilgi sadece hekimler tarafından değil tüm sağlık çalışanları tarafından duyulmaktadır. Ancak FOAM ‘ın; teknolojiye bağımlı olması (yaşlı bireyler teknolojiyi daha gençler kadar kolay kullanamayabilir), temel konuların eksikliği ve kaliteyi standardize etmek için bir hakem değerlendirme süreci ihtiyacı olması gibi kısıtlılıkları vardır. FOAM, etkin bir tıp eğitimi modelidir ancak klasik tıp kitabının yerine geçecek bir eğitim modeli değildir. Birlikte kullanıldıklarında birbirlerinin eksiklerini tamamlayan bu iki eğitim modelinden herhangi birinin daha etkin bir eğitim modeli olduğunu gösteren bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu sebeple birlikte kullanılmaları önerilmektedir.

Free Open-Access Medical Education

The use of the internet and social media is widely common, nowadays. Free, open-access medical education (FOAM) has reached a wide population of followers by using the internet and social media platforms. FOAM has created a continuous, easy to reach and free medical education resource which is independent of geographic limitations. This led to an appeal by not only doctors but also all medical service providers. But FOAM has limitations like; it is technology dependent (older people may not use technology as easy as younger people), it lacks core topics and it needs a peer-review system for quality standardization. FOAM is an efficient medical education method but it can't replace medical textbooks. There are no studies that prove one method is more efficient than the other.  These two methods complement each other when combined. For this reason, a combination of both methods is recommended.
