    Rationale, aims and objectives Continuing health education is essential but challenged. in 2006, the Brazilian Cochrane Center, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, launched a mass teaching initiative in evidence-based health care (EBH) for public-sector professionals via teleconferencing. This 152-hour, interactive EBH course has enrolled over 4500 professionals. This study aimed to assess the acquisition EBH knowledge and skills, as well as the attitudes and perceptions of a sample of students enrolled in the 2009 course via teleconferencing.Methods This prospective cohort study analyzed three aspects of this 152-hour EBH course that recruited 1040 volunteer participants, all public health sector employees working in 131 different hospitals or health agencies. Pre- and post-course tests using a modified version of the Berlin questionnaire with 20 multiple-choice questions were used to examine knowledge acquisition in a sample of 297 students. Tests were completed upon registration and at course completion. the research projects submitted by 872 participants were evaluated to assess skill acquisition. Answers to an anonymous survey assessed the attitudes and perceptions of 914 participants.Results There was a significant increase in knowledge from baseline to course completion (mean scores 8.2 +/- 3.3 versus 13.7 +/- 3.0, P < 0.001). Over 90% of the research projects were judged to be of adequate quality (appropriate rationale for the study, well-formulated research question and feasible execution); over 95% of the participants were satisfied with the course.Conclusion the Brazilian EBH course via teleconference improved the knowledge and skills of public-sector health professionals and was approved by the vast majority of students.

    In the traditional medical graduation course the student receives a great amount of information while training at the Outpatient Care; the student assumes the physician's role, collecting all the information regarding the patient's clinical history and learns to get along with patients as well. During the attendance process, several factors interfere in the academic teaching, such as limitations of room numbers, amount of patients, difficulties in obtaining medical records, paper illegibility, among other problems.Due to those difficulties, the Model of Computerized Academic Health Clinic, implies in a new learning paradigm in the medical practice rethinking the traditional process of learning attendance, where the old model, in which attendance is restricted to a place, is extended in an open atmosphere of shared knowledge rich of computer resources.The pilot project was implanted in the Pediatrics General Health Clinic of UNIFESP/EPM. If allows that the fifth-year medical students, residents, trainees and tutors use computerized clinics, connected with the academic net of UNIFESP and to the InternetAll the computing and information resources settled at the Outpatient Care improved the organization of its services, increased the medical students' curiosity, improved their participation in learning through interactive programs and clinical attendance.

    Health care and health information have been around since the time of Hippocrates or even before. Through the historical evolution, it is observed that the knowledge and information that were simple and easy to learn and retain by that time, became much more complex. This paper presents a brief reviewing on the evolution of MEDINFO conferences, and how nursing informatics grew up and made itself visible during all these years of IMIA conferences.
