The Costa Rican Association of Physicians and Surgeons transforms the health sector with an ambitious training and technological project

The Costa Rican Association of Physicians and Surgeons will provide an innovative and efficient training and updating service to its members. With a total access to knowledge, when needed and without any space barriers, this project will transform the national health sector.

The Costa Rican Association of Physicians and Surgeons is the first professional association in offering ongoing and updated knowledge to its members and other physicians in the region through a training and updating service based on eLearning or technology-aided training.

The strategic alliance with the eLearning developer, Aura Interactiva, seeks to reach all physicians in the country based on the knowledge they need and because of the fact that they do not have to move, thus improving the health sector. “Our participants will achieve savings because they will be trained at the workplace and at home and will have access to courses on a 24-hour basis, 365 days a year. Moreover, we will timely meet their training needs and provide short-run solutions,” said Dr. José Federico Rojas Montero, Board Chairman.

“The Association is interested in promoting a real and tangible projection to its members by training and updating all physicians in a shorter time and covering all the geographical areas where its members are located, mainly remote areas where there is just one physician and he/she cannot be expected to move. The best way to achieve this goal is definitely through an alliance with Aura Interactiva,” added Dr. Rojas.

Through an online campus, the Association will provide these training services on the Internet. Therefore, there will be a better use of the knowledge that has been collected, developed, or adapted by its Scientific Committee.

“Thanks to eLearning, we are going to train physicians anywhere in the country, including the most remote areas where training is most needed. At the same time, the Association will have the most effective, massively scalable, and affordable tool possible. We foresee a significant and transcendental transformation in the way physicians across the country keep abreast on medical advances. The vision of the Association when implementing the technology-based strategy is worth mentioning because it is at the same level or higher than initiatives in developed countries,” indicated Randolf Kissling, CEO, Aura Interactiva .
