Reimagining Medical Education for the Digital Age

Today's digital innovations offer opportunities to drive competency-based learning, enable greater collaboration, and ultimately improve patient care by better preparing students for the realities of the job.
For example, students must begin learning how to treat a patient in a virtual setting and how to pick up on other cues beyond traditional measures, such as checking blood pressure. that integrating telehealth experiences into the curriculum can help learners prepare for the expanded role of remote healthcare delivery and enhance their grasp of telemedicine practices.
Simulating real patient care situations through virtual and augmented reality immersive experiences can help learners to simulate real-world scenarios—even incorporating accurate patient data—as they develop their clinical skills in a safe and controlled setting.
