Is there demand for digital health education in medical education programmes?

Give your feedback via online survey

Ain Shams University Virtual Hospital (AVH) on behalf of the Global South Health Alliance (GSHA) is inviting specialists to contribute to research on The Demand for Integrating Digital Health Curricula into Medical Education Programmes.

Technologies like electronic medical records, telemedicine and artificial intelligence are increasingly being used in all fields of healthcare. Aim Shams University Hospital wants to understand perceptions of its value in practice and if it is important to add it to medical education in medical schools or in postgraduate studies.

Your contribution and participation in this critical assessment would be greatly appreciated.

The researchers hope to gain valuable insights by collecting data from diverse health professionals working and/or studying under the broad umbrella of health, public health, and healthcare in clinical, non-clinical, research, administrative or supportive roles in both digital and non-digital settings from several countries.

They have collected 200 entry from Egypt, and hope to collect a similar number of entries from each country in order to have a representative sample.

Please contact avh@med.asu.edu.eg for more information.
