Large-scale education in respiratory medicine: content versus delivery

Emer Kelly et al. Breathe (Sheff). .

Abstract

The respiratory literature, both written and in online formats, is growing exponentially. Capturing quality content, to meet the learning needs of those working in all fields of respiratory medicine and delivering it in a palatable, accessible format is challenging but paramount. In this article we discuss ways to determine the information content and review different methods of delivering this content to those who need it.
