Use of Digital Technology in Pedagogy

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of digital technology in pedagogy. Many healthcare educators have reservations on how and whether or not to incorporate technology into their teaching. Discussing when and how to incorporate online collaborative and content-sharing platforms, course management tools, smartphones and tablets will enhance the overall educational experience.

Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Education

The field of AI has been sensationalized by the popular press and the entertainment industry which blurs reality with conjecture and has created apprehension and anxiety for many people. AI is increasing its role in many industries, and some amount of apprehension is understandable. General labor is often most adversely impacted by automation, and AI will expedite those efforts. However, there are also exciting opportunities for integrating AI with human capital and the healthcare industry is no exception. To provide high quality patient care, physicians should be trained to work effectively with AI applications. However, many clinical decisions are impacted by social, legal, personal, and ethical aspects. AI will reshape healthcare delivery and physician professional identity. In this light, how should we teach AI technology abilities in medicine and how to connect with a patient while using AI generated data? Do we have teaching resources in healthcare education to provide high-quality knowledge about AI foundations and applications?
