RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Cooking Online With a Chef (COWC) is a live, telemedicine module delivered by a health coach chef to participants who log in from their home kitchen. Our purpose is to identify health professionals' perceptions on its educational value and to determine feasibility for clinical practice. METHOD: Sixty-four health care professionals participated in a 75-minute COWC module as active participants during a live remote Continuing Medical Education (CME) program that includes five 75-minute telemedicine sessions. Post-program questionnaire elicited feedback on the module educational value and relevance to clinical practice through Likert-type scale and open-ended questions. This report presents descriptive analysis of the Likert-type scale questions and thematic qualitative analysis of the open-ended question. RESULTS: Seventy percent of health care professional participants rated the quality of the COWC module as either very good or excellent, and 73% rated its relevance to clinical practice as very good or excellent. Open-ended question feedback showed appreciation of the learning experience with specific suggestions about how to improve participants' preparation for the module. CONCLUSIONS: The COWC telemedicine module was well received by self-selected health care professionals. Future studies are being planned to determine the efficacy of the module on patients' nutrition.
