Objective: E-learning gained popularity since the sudden pandemic entry, which revealed the need to adapt to our practice after becoming mandatory. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the perceptions toward e-learning among emergency medicine physicians. Methods: In this questionnaire-based cross-sectional study, an online questionnaire was given about demographics, self-efficacy, satisfaction, self-control, anxiety, perceived usefulness, and attitudes toward e-learning was conducted on emergency medicine residents and specialists who are remotely involved in emergency medicine training in their departments due to the pandemic. The self-efficacy, satisfaction, interactivity, perceived ease of use, perceived benefit, self-control, and attitude scores were calculated based on the total Likert points of statements, and correlations were analyzed. Results: This study included 74 participants who remotely performed emergency medicine training during the study. Experience in years showed statistically higher satisfaction (p=0.018), self-control (p=0.003), ease of use (p=0.042), perception of benefit (p=0.022), and attitude (p=0.030) rates in residents. Experienced participants has a statistically lower self-efficacy (p=0.044) and higher perception of ease of use (p=0.034). Perception of benefit (p=0.009), self-control (p=0.006), perception of ease of use (p=0.01), and attitude (p=0.018) was statistically higher in high computer skill levels. Perception of benefit (r=0.543) is associated with higher computer skill levels, satisfaction (r=0.407), and perception of interactivity (r=0.498). Satisfaction had a positive correlation with self-control (r=0.543, p=0.000) and benefit perception (r=0.543, p=0.000). Conclusion: Increased interaction, improved users’ computer skills and maintained higher self-efficacy and benefit perception are important to increase the satisfaction and adoption with e-learning.
