TARGET AUDIENCE

Obstetricians-Gynecologists (Fellows) in training with Dr.

Nilda Liz Moreno-Ruiz in order to receive a sub-
specialization in family planning that is completed in two
years.
TARGET AUDIENCE CONTEXT
Fellows spend their first year completing a Masters of
Public Health at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in
Baltimore.
*Stanford University, California.
SETTING
MedStar Washington Hospital Center at Irvine Street

of time the learner uses the Capstone.
BACKGROUND ON PROJECT
Family Planning Guide to Learning of 2008.
core competences during the two years of
training.
Terminal and enabling objectives.
PROBLEM
Out of the fifteen competences, five do not have an
academic component and are taught during training the
second year.
The Fellowship in Family Planning National Office does not
provide the Fellowship directors with an instructional
curriculum to teach these competences.
SOLUTION
To have an e-learning product to cover the five core
competences that do not have an academic component
for the entire Fellowship in Family Planning National Office.
According to Ruiz, Mintzer & Leipzig (2006) e-learning is more
efficient because learners gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes
faster than through traditional instructor-led methods (p. 208).
