| Sumario: | Despite a high demand for continuing professional education, it is becoming more challenging to provide education in a resource-limited environment that meets the varied needs of learners.

Potential benefits and challenges of distance learning, undergraduate web-learning, pilot-test results and an assessment of therapists' interests and needs are profiled. |
