Healthcare education is transforming profoundly, driving medical educators to explore innovative solutions to fill the gaps created by limited training and resources. In light of this, there is an increased focus on adapting to the increased patient care responsibilities and developing more opportunities to train a workforce while on the job.
Following the ‘necessity breeds innovation’ tenet, the healthcare education sector has become a marketplace brimming with innovative online learning platforms. Combining e-learning and blended learning approaches, educators strive to assist students in remotely accessing educational resources, optimizing the journey from theory to practice. At the same time, the surge in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies and human patient simulators enable learners to refine their hands-on skills in a safe and controlled environment.
Beyond technological advancements, new teaching models provide expeditionary education that includes experiential learning and real[1]world applications, allowing educators to impart practical and critical thinking abilities to students. By embracing such an approach, the next generation of healthcare professionals can confidently meet ever[1]evolving challenges and contribute to better healthcare and patient outcomes.
