3.1 Engagement Metrics
The theoretical teaching activities garnered significant attention, with views ranging from 207 to 402 on the IO YouTube channel, resulting in an average playlist view time of 5.4 hours per user. Out of the total participants, 99 students( 31 %) of 17 countries( 15 Latinoamerican Countries) completed the theoretical evaluation, which consisted of 15 questions, achieving a remarkable 100 % pass rate( Fig. 1). The average score for this evaluation was 13.2 points, with a median score of 14 and a range from 8 to 15 points( Fig. 2). The professional composition of theoretical assessment included 57 % medical physicists, 19 % technologists, 16 % medical physics students, 4 % physicians, and 4 % from other related professions.
3.3 Quality Survey Feedback A quality survey was completed by 40 attendees from 99 participants( 41 %), from 12 Latinoamerican countries( Fig. 1), offering insights into their experience with the course. The professional composition of the responses was 60 % medical physicists, 13 % technologists, 25 % medical physics students and 3 % physicians. The overall rating averaged between 4.2 and 4.5 on a scale of 5, indicating high satisfaction levels across various aspects of the course( Fig. 3). Participants suggested areas for improvement, particularly emphasizing:
* The need for more available literature in Spanish.
* The importance of ongoing follow-up on course content.
* Suggestions for enhancements in recording quality.
3.2 Practical Component Outcomes
In addition to the theoretical assessments, 43 participants from 15 countries( 13 Latinoamerican Countries) successfully completed the practical component( Fig. 1). The professional distribution of the participants in the practical assessment comprised 60 % medical physicists, 21 % technologists, 9 % medical physics students and 9 % physicians. During this practical exercise, participants reported and analyzed a total of 78 nuclear medicine studies( Tab. 3)
4 Discusion
The asynchronous course " Reference Levels for Diagnosis in Nuclear Medicine " garnered significant attention from the Latin American( LA) nuclear medicine community, with an impressive 97 % of participants hailing from this region( Fig. 1). Notably, countries such as Peru and Colombia demonstrated particularly strong participation, reflecting a
