DIGITALIZATION OF MEDICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The digitalization of medical education has emerged as a transformative force, reshaping the traditional paradigms of teaching, and learning in the healthcare domain. This evolution is driven by the integration of advanced technologies, including social media, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and digital health platforms, which have revolutionized curriculum development, learner-teacher dynamics, and institutional programs. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed a rapid shift from conventional face-to-face instruction to distance-based learning, further accentuating the imperative need to embrace digitalization in medical education. This thesis aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of digitalization in medical education, delving into its potential benefits, associated challenges, current trends, and prospects. By synthesizing the findings from influential literature sources, this study endeavors to provide a comprehensive understanding of the transformative impact and the evolving landscape of digitalization in medical education.
