In this article, the author provides synopses of the factors that have finally propelled health-care education and practice to join, at times reluctantly, the overarching digital transformative process that has been swept other industries over the last few decades. The key contributors and driving forces that have energized the entry of health-care education and practices are mentioned. The roles of major universities, large technology companies, and the expanding roles of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are described. The projected future developments are predicted to continue to be substantial, sweeping, and forcing changes that are unprecedented. Thus, academicians and practitioners should be alerted to what the rapidly changing landscape is likely to become and accordingly take steps to manage and preserve their roles or risk be left behind or worse be forced out.
在本文中，作者概述了最终促使医疗保健教育和实践不情愿地加入过去几十年席卷其他行业的全面数字化转型过程的因素。提到了推动医疗保健教育和实践进入的主要贡献者和驱动力。描述了主要大学、大型科技公司以及人工智能和机器学习不断扩大的作用。预计未来的发展仍将是巨大的、全面的，并迫使发生前所未有的变革。因此，学者和从业者应该警惕快速变化的局面可能会变成什么样，并相应地采取措施来管理和维护他们的角色，否则他们可能会被甩在后面，更糟糕的是，被迫出局。
