DIEHL, Leandro Arthur et al. Educação à distância em nefrologia na Amazônia: processos e resultados. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2012, vol.36, n.04, pp.550-556. ISSN 1981-5271.

The relative lack of qualified teachers in the Amazon Region led to the adoption of Distance Education technologies in order to implement Nephrology classes in the fourth year of the medical course in SãoLucas College (Faculdade de São Lucas), located in Porto Velho, Rondonia. In this paper, we describe the construction of the course on the Moodle platform, using a modular structure to discuss the main topics of Nephrology in online asynchronous forums based on illustrative clinical problems, and we also show the results of the classes, which has already been completed with 3 groups of medical students, and the evaluation of the methodology by the students and by the institution.
