Résumé
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acceptance of a webinar series for continuing medical education hosted by the Austrian Society for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ÖGMKG). A series of twelve webinars was streamed via the Internet and the participants' satisfaction was evaluated by an online questionnaire. 51 out of 140 participants (36.4%) completed the questionnaire completely and were included into the study for further analysis. The mean age of the participants was 37.9 ± 8.9 and did not vary significantly between gender (p = 0.53). The results of the questionnaire revealed a positive attitude of the participants towards this kind of webinar. The participants found that the webinars allowed for an adequate transfer of knowledge. Continuing medical education by webinars in oral and maxillofacial surgery is well accepted by the participants. Although both male and female participants had a positive attitude towards the webinars, females gave even better ratings than their male counterparts did.
