Digital Education for Doctors: Effective or Overhyped?
Manage episode 442720260 series 3602339
In this episode, we dive into a systematic review that explores the effectiveness of online digital education (ODE) for medical doctors' post-registration training. Hosts Zaynab and Yassin break down the findings from 93 randomized controlled trials, analyzing how ODE impacts doctors' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and even satisfaction compared to traditional learning methods. While ODE offers flexibility and convenience, the evidence on its effectiveness remains mixed.
We also explore the gaps in the research, such as how ODE affects patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness, and discuss the future of online medical education, including the potential for patient involvement in training. Whether you're a healthcare professional, educator, or curious about digital learning, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the evolving landscape of medical education.
