Abstract
Online learning has been found useful for faculty development programs in health professions education. The purpose of this paper is to report the online journal club discussion on the article “Health Professionals for a new century: transforming education to strengthen health systems in an interdependent world” published in The Lancet in 2010. This online discussion was conducted from 15th – 30th August 2012 in the MEU- India Google group. The discussion was divided into two parts and moderated by the authors of this paper. Sixteen medical educators participated in the discussion and there were 63 posts in the two weeks that the paper was discussed. The discussion indicated that there were gaps between health professions education and health needs. Translation of social accountability into action is an important step to bridge this gap. One of the uses of advances in information –technology is to have an online journal club discussion, which could be an effective tool for faculty development.
