Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare e–learning and traditional methods of teaching of two subjects maintained at the Faculty of Health Sciences in the Medical University of Bialystok. Material and methods: The study included 142 students of third year undergraduate studies. 83 were studying subject "Obstetrics, gynecology and obstetrics–gynecology nursing” and 59 students - “Therapeutic massage” in the field of physio-therapy. The research group (43 and 16 persons respectively) held talks in a way of e–learning. An implementation of the LMS/LCMS (Moodle) system was used to teach the classes. In the control group (40 and 43 persons respectively) lectures were held in a traditional way. Final examinations were conducted simultaneously in each group in a manner of single–choice test for both e-learning and traditional method of teaching. Results: Almost similar results with a slight predominance of the final average score in the distant learning system were obtained in both groups of students. In the field of nursing average score of students participating in on-line learning was – 3.49, while in the traditional system of education – 3.26. In the field of physiotherapy an average score of students participating in on-line learning was – 4.38, while in the traditional system of education – 4.32. Conclusion: Our results show that e–learning method is at least not lesser than traditional method of teaching subjects in the field of nursing and physiotherapy.
