Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

SUMMARY

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the distance education course in family health in the knowledge of physicians from the Mais Médicos program.

METHOD:

This is a quantitative, quasi-experimental study, without a pretest and posttest control group, carried out from August 2019 to September 2021. In all modules, physicians responded to a pretest and posttest to verify their knowledge of the subject.

RESULTS:

There was a statistically significant difference in all modules with higher average scores in the posttests; the modules with the greatest emphasis are child health care: growth and development; approach to cancer in primary health care; and family health strategy and territorialization.

CONCLUSION:

The effectiveness of the distance education course was verified, as evidenced by the significant improvement of knowledge in all the modules studied.
