Technology-enhanced education
Over the past two decades we have seen an exponential growth in the use of digital technologies for healthcare and the development of educational technologies that are transforming teaching and learning. This means medical schools have needed to consider how they design curricula that will allow their students to become doctors equipped with the skills to work in a digital age. We must also consider how to train educators and explore the ways in which medical schools share knowledge and best practice. Immersive technologies in the classroom (such as virtual and augmented reality) are opening up the way in which medical education is delivered and opening up promising opportunities for research. This theme explores how digital healthcare and innovation is changing the health delivery system and therefore how we train new doctors. |
