Effectiveness of eLearning programme for capacity building of healthcare professionals: a systematic review
Background
The effectiveness of eLearning in enhancing healthcare professionals’ capacity has received substantial attention globally. This review sought to synthesis evidence on the effectiveness of various types of eLearning programmes, and the facilitators and barriers to its use.
Methods
The review was guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Four main databases (PubMed, Web of Science, JSTOR, and Scopus) in July 2023 and 44 articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. The JBI critical appraisal checklist was used to appraise the methodological quality of the studies. The data were examined using narrative review to determine the effectiveness of the intervention as well as the barriers and facilitators to its use.
Results
This review found that asynchronous, synchronous, blended, and self-learning methodologies are effective eLearning approaches for continuous professional development. Previous positive experiences, user-friendly interfaces and relevance of the eLearning content to daily practice are critical elements that facilitate eLearning usage. Poor computer competence and literacy, lack of personal computers and high family duties were the main personal factors that hindered eLearning use. Some systemic barriers included; heavy workloads, shortage of specialised eLearning facilitators poor management involvement, and technical inadequacies within the ICT departments. Environmental issues such as poor infrastructure, including limited internet and frequent power outages acted as barriers.
Conclusion
The review highlights the effectiveness of various eLearning approaches among health professionals and presents the disparities between developing and developed economies in relation to the facilitators and barriers.

Interventions designed to increase scholarly activity and achieve promotion among primarily junior clinical faculty in the United States: a scoping review
Background
For many U.S. academic physicians, direct patient care is the primary focus of daily work and the most important professional responsibility. Concurrently, some degree of scholarly activity is often required for career advancement. Junior clinical faculty often face challenges that limit their success in this area such as heavy clinical workloads or other time constraints, a lack of personal expertise or experience, mentorship, and institutional infrastructure. Support systems and faculty development interventions may mitigate these challenges and contribute to increased academic productivity and promotion. The objective of this study was to perform a scoping review of literature on strategies which increase scholarly activity among junior clinical faculty in the United States to determine the extent to which this topic has been scientifically investigated, the form of the employed strategies for supporting junior clinical faculty scholarly activity, the types of scholarly activity measured, and the research methods used.
Methods
An online search of PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, ERIC and APA PsycINFO databases was conducted and supplemented by a manual search of references and citations. Articles published between January 1, 2012, and February 7, 2025, that described faculty development interventions designed to increase scholarly productivity of junior clinical faculty in the United States were included. We employed a structured data extraction algorithm, extracted data in dyads, and resolved any inconsistencies using a third extractor. Included publications were categorized by the primary intervention strategy they employed.
Results
Eighteen publications are included in this scoping review. The most common primary strategies for supporting scholarly activity were peer-mentoring (5/18, 28%) and traditional mentoring (5/18, 28%). Other strategies included grants and funding (4/18, 22%), faculty development and training (2/18, 11%), and protected time (1/18, 6%). Two of the 18 publications included a control group.
Conclusions
Mentoring was the most common strategy to support scholarly activity of junior clinical faculty followed by faculty development programs. Scholarly activity is often measured by publications, grant funding, and presentations. A major gap in the current literature is the absence of any high-quality research demonstrating a beneficial effect on the scholarly activity of junior clinical faculty.
