trends and approaches in medical education in the digital age
DESCRIPTION
The use of technology has become ubiquitous in medical education. Educational technologies have increased access to learning resources but there are also challenges and personal development needs for both staff and students to be considered. This presentation that I gave to the Galway Area Medical Education group at Galway Medical School on 7 March 2013 considers some of the emerging trends in using technology in medical education and approaches to their implementation with examples from across the continuum of medical education.TRANSCRIPT

through which young professionals can develop lifelong
learning skills, experience continuing professional
development and learn and work in a professional
community.”
