The paper describes the experience of an in-service training programme addressed to general practitioners that shows the diagnosis and treatment of a series of twelve pathologies that pose a series of problems to public health. Each pathology is treated in a separate module with a pedagogical approach based on case studies. The modules have the necessary elements of distance learning mode, that’s to say, contextualization, self-evaluation, learner-centred material, etc. The programme includes tutorial help provided by the authors of the study material. The results have been highly positive.
