In addition to bridging the gaps between schools, teachers, and students, technology has also enabled new ways of learning. The covid pandemic resulted in global shutdowns of schools and universities and a shift of classes from physical to online. This period prompted the blend of traditional learning techniques with modern approaches and hence we witnessed a rise in ed-tech startups in the country.
To make medical students ready for the future, the intersection of healthcare and ed-tech has become necessary, so that they are equipped with industry-relevant knowledge going into the workforce. Innovative training mechanisms using augmented reality and patient simulations will prepare students for a healthcare industry that is becoming more digital. Online learning will allow medical practitioners to stay relevant and competitive in the future. Online learning modules can also present variations of a procedure or problem, enabling doctors to develop a dynamic approach to real-life situations. Lastly, it is also a convenient form of learning for many.
