A New Zealand study outlines four digital health skillsets medical schools should teach, including AI, to better prepare future doctors.
Key Details
- 1Researchers at the University of Otago identified four key digital health competencies for future doctors.
- 2The competencies include understanding the local digital health ecosystem, data safety/security/ethics, hands-on skills with digital tools, and digital-health research.
- 3Findings are based on interviews with 17 students, 12 educators, and 11 digital-sector experts.
- 4The study was published in BMC Medical Education.
Why It Matters
Radiology and imaging are at the forefront of medical digitalization and AI adoption. Ensuring future clinicians are digitally literate will affect interdisciplinary collaboration, technology utilization, and ultimately, patient care standards in radiology.
