The digitisation of society has reached almost every facet of our daily lives. The COVID-19 pandemic has further showcased the role of information and communications technology (ICT) in society and so much so in continuing medical education (CME). This has provided the CME industry with remarkable opportunities to design better educational programmes and reach more audiences. However, for healthcare professionals to take full advantage of these developments, they need to be digitally competent, at least at a basic level. While digital competence influences CME uptake in the internet age, several factors, in turn, can influence digital competence. These factors come from both within and outside the influence of healthcare professionals and educators. In this article, we explore how digital competence influences CME uptake and recommend ways to improve digital competence among healthcare professionals.
社会数字化几乎已渗透到我们日常生活的方方面面。新冠疫情进一步彰显了信息通信技术（ICT）在社会中的作用，在继续医学教育（CME）领域亦是如此。这为继续医学教育行业提供了绝佳机遇，使其能够设计出更优质的教育项目并触达更多受众。然而，医疗保健专业人员要充分利用这些发展成果，至少需要具备基本的数字能力。虽然数字能力在互联网时代会影响继续医学教育的参与度，但反过来，有几个因素也会影响数字能力。这些因素既来自医疗保健专业人员和教育工作者自身的影响，也来自外部。在本文中，我们探讨数字能力如何影响继续医学教育的参与度，并推荐提高医疗保健专业人员数字能力的方法。
