“…Evidence also suggests that medical students find e-learning platforms to be effective in improving understanding and are associated with high satisfaction scores [41]. Health student satisfaction overall with LMS use in medical education appears to be high -with over 94% of medical and nursing students recently showing satisfaction with the LMS used in China [41]. It is likely therefore, that these digital platforms will continue to play an important role in the educational toolkit of the modern-day health students.…”

BACKGROUND The last 25 years have seen enormous progression in digital technologies across the whole of the health service, including in medical education. For some, digital medical education may seem to have been a brief aberration imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the rapid evolution and utilisation of online and digital techniques have been significantly transforming this field since the beginning of the new millennium. These continue to rapidly progress even since the resolution of the pandemic. OBJECTIVE This review aims to outline the striking developments that have taken place in digital health education over this time frame around the world. The learners covered will include medical students, doctors in training or continuing professional development, nurses, paramedics, and also patients. METHODS Literature reviews were carried out to support this review using PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, Google Scholar and Embase. RESULTS Evidence of the significant steps in the development of digital medical education in the past 25 years is presented and analysed in terms of application, impact and implications for the future. CONCLUSIONS Major changes and developments in digital health education have occurred since the start of the new millennium. Whilst many of these changes are currently being widely utilised in education, others, such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Artificial Intelligence, provide great potential for the near future.

Background The last 25 years have seen enormous progression in digital technologies across the whole of the health service, including health education. The rapid evolution and use of web-based and digital techniques have been significantly transforming this field since the beginning of the new millennium. These advancements continue to progress swiftly, even more so after the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective This narrative review aims to outline and discuss the developments that have taken place in digital medical education across the defined time frame. In addition, evidence for potential opportunities and challenges facing digital medical education in the near future was collated for analysis. Methods Literature reviews were conducted using PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Embase. The participants and learners in this study included medical students, physicians in training or continuing professional development, nurses, paramedics, and patients. Results Evidence of the significant steps in the development of digital medical education in the past 25 years was presented and analyzed in terms of application, impact, and implications for the future. The results were grouped into the following themes for discussion: learning management systems; telemedicine (in digital medical education); mobile health; big data analytics; the metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality; the COVID-19 pandemic; artificial intelligence; and ethics and cybersecurity. Conclusions Major changes and developments in digital medical education have occurred from around the start of the new millennium. Key steps in this journey include technical developments in teleconferencing and learning management systems, along with a marked increase in mobile device use for accessing learning over this time. While the pace of evolution in digital medical education accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, further rapid progress has continued since the resolution of the pandemic. Many of these changes are currently being widely used in health education and other fields, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence, providing significant future potential. The opportunities these technologies offer must be balanced against the associated challenges in areas such as cybersecurity, the integrity of web-based assessments, ethics, and issues of digital privacy to ensure that digital medical education continues to thrive in the future.
