MOOCs and Medical Physics ?
• Domestic (US) – Recruitment
• Introduce Medical Physics earlier (School/Univ ?) – Enhance Training
• Graduate/residency programs – democratize – Allow MOOC credits ?
• Maintenance of Certification ? .. – compliment SAMS etc – MOOC certification ? Testing ? Grading ?
• International ? – Greater flexibility

Accreditation and practical training? • MIT - Continuing Education units (CEUs)
– Nationally recognised – $495, 4 week, 30 days
• Stanford – surgery CME online course – http://online.stanford.edu/course/sonodoc-cme-
sp2014 – Local supervision training

Practical training ?
• The U. of Edinburgh has a Master's in surgical science
• The practicum component supervised by the student's on-site location.

Summary
• MOOCs – Driving forces – flexible access and low cosr – Flexible, all aspects rapidly evolving
• Potential for Medical Physics – Domestic and international – Diversify educational offerings – Accreditation and practical training
• Maybe feasible with creative models

Thank-you ! • Giving education away for free is a really good idea, but … here
has to be a business model that actually works. Sebastian Thrun (Udacity)
• We aren’t about replacing physical schools. … if lectures happen in the students’ own time and pace then you can do a higher order activity in the classroom: more conversation, more problem solving, more projects. Salman Kahn (Kahn Academy)
• “We need a way to integrate education much more deeply into the fabric of our lives in a lifelong way,” she says. “And that’s what we’re doing.” Dahne Koller (co-founder of Coursera)
