Advances in technology make it possible to supplement in-person teaching activities with digital learning, use electronic records in patient care, and communicate through social media. This relatively new "digital learning environment" has changed how medical trainees learn, participate in patient care, are assessed, and provide feedback. Communication has changed with the use of digital health records, the evolution of interdisciplinary and interprofessional communication, and the emergence of social media. Learning has evolved with the proliferation of online tools such as apps, blogs, podcasts, and wikis, and the formation of virtual communities. Assessment of learners has progressed due to the increasing amounts of data being collected and analyzed. Digital technologies have also enhanced learning in resource-poor environments by making resources and expertise more accessible. While digital technology offers benefits to learners, the teachers, and health care systems, there are concerns regarding the ownership, privacy, safety, and management of patient and learner data. We highlight selected themes in the domains of digital communication, digital learning resources, and digital assessment and close by providing practical recommendations for the integration of digital technology into education, with the aim of maximizing its benefits while reducing risks.
技术的进步使得人们可以将数字学习补充到面对面的教学活动中，在患者护理中使用电子记录，并通过社交媒体进行交流。这种相对较新的“数字学习环境”改变了医学实习生的学习方式、参与患者护理的方式、评估方式和提供反馈的方式。随着数字病历的使用、跨学科和跨专业交流的发展以及社交媒体的出现，交流方式发生了变化。随着在线工具（如应用程序、博客、播客和维基）的普及以及虚拟社区的形成，学习也在不断发展。由于收集和分析的数据量不断增加，学习者的评估也在不断发展。数字技术还通过使资源和专业知识更容易获得，从而增强了资源匮乏环境中的学习。虽然数字技术为学习者、教师和医疗保健系统带来了好处，但人们对患者和学习者数据的所有权、隐私、安全和管理表示担忧。我们重点介绍了数字通信、数字学习资源和数字评估领域的选定主题，并最后提供了将数字技术整合到教育中的实用建议，旨在在降低风险的同时最大限度地发挥其优势。
