Prescribing skills course: Three years' experience and lessons learnt through India's massive open online course
The PSC- MOOC is convenient, accessible with experiential learning for large numbers. Performance of RMPs may suggest practical relevance and applicability. Module-wise performance analysis and enrolment variation provided insights for future strategy. Limitations include inability to assess the impact on prescribing practices. PSC-MOOC represents a promising, scalable educational strategy. Our experience would be useful to other countries.
