Short description:

This book addresses the current skills gap, providing a comprehensive introduction to, and summary of, this rapidly developing field, helping educators make the most of the technology available to enhance and improve the student learning experience, while adhering to principles that are in alignment with accepted medical education practises.

Long description:

Technology has immense potential to advance medical and health education and medical practice and to greatly improve the experiences of learners and service receivers. However, many medical and health educators currently do not have the requisite skills, exposure, and capacity to use the advanced and relatively sophisticated technologies currently available to add value to student and trainee experiences.

This book addresses this current skills gap, providing a comprehensive yet readable introduction to, and summary of, this rapidly developing field, helping medical and health educators to make the most of the technology available to enhance and improve the student learning experience, while adhering to principles that are in alignment with accepted medical education practices, where standardization remains a key consideration.

• Fills gaps in previous training to equip medical and health educators with requisite knowledge, skills, and attitude to embrace technological advancements








• Considers tech integration into each major division of health and medical education








• Provides strategies for leading innovation in health and medical education








• Addresses educational management and leadership aspects with an emphasis on standardization and optimization in educational technologies

This new book provides a much-needed standard text on the effective use of technology for all educators involved in teaching medical students and other health professions globally.
