在线课程可以在几乎任何环境下提供高质量的卫生专业教育。他们可以通过标准化课程资源和个性化课程体验来增强教学和学习。尽管对医学教育在线课程的需求和机构兴趣不断增长，但许多医学教育者缺乏在线课程开发框架。如果没有严格和深思熟虑的开发，在线课程可能会浪费机会和资源，导致教育不如传统方法。在本文中，作者描述了一种基于医学教育课程开发六步法的在线课程开发系统方法，该方法是一种广泛使用的方法，已成功实施各种传统和在线课程。在每个步骤中，都强调了对具有更大和更多样化学习者受众的课程的特殊考虑——这是许多在线课程的特征。还讨论了四种常见的在线课程格式：混合课程、讲师指导的完全在线课程、自定进度模块和大规模开放在线课程（MOOC）。作者强调了一种在线格式与另一种在线格式的区别因素，包括每种格式的预算、技术和人力资源要求。文章最后敦促医学教育工作者寻求学习和传播在线课程的机会。
Online curricula can make high-quality health professions education accessible in virtually any setting. They can enhance teaching and learning by both standardizing curricular resources and individualizing curricular experiences. Despite growing demand for and institutional interest in online curricula for medical education, many medical educators lack a framework for online curriculum development. Without rigorous and thoughtful development, online curricula can waste opportunity and resources by leading to education that is inferior to traditional methods. In this article, the authors describe a systematic approach to online curriculum development based on the Six-Step Approach for Curriculum Development for Medical Education, a widely used method that has led to successful implementation of a variety of traditional and online curricula. In each step, special considerations for curricula with larger and more diverse learner audiences-characteristic of many online curricula-are highlighted. Four common online curricular formats are also discussed: blended curricula, instructor-led fully online curricula, self-paced modules, and massive open online courses (MOOCs). The authors emphasize factors that differentiate one online format from another, including the budgetary, technical, and human resource requirements for each. The article concludes by urging medical educators to pursue opportunities to study and disseminate online curricular work.
