Doctors' continuing education in Tanzania: distance learning.
A distance learning programme for medical officers and their assistants at the district level has produced some valuable lessons for future activities in continuing education. Besides correspondence and study materials, face-to-face contact between students and their tutors is a particularly important ingredient, as it provides the guidance, flexibility and motivation that are essential for an effective programme.
