Physicians in three communities (n=31) participated in four problem-based learning modules via videoconferencing. Posttest scores were 20% higher and learners reported an average of nine practice changes. Facilitators and observers reported a number of technical difficulties. Facilitators found videoconferencing slightly more difficult than face-to-face facilitation. (SK)
