Health sciences lifelong learning and professional development in the era of artificial intelligence.

INTRODUCTION

In the field of healthcare, lifelong learning is considered a quality indicator due to its potential to enhance healthcare services and the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals. The purpose of this research is to investigate and document the attitudes and behavior of healthcare professionals from different healthcare institutions toward lifelong learning using artificial intelligence.

THE STUDY ACHIEVES TWO OBJECTIVES

Identifying healthcare professionals' interest in formal lifelong learning and determining how they engage in lifelong learning. Additionally, this study aims to develop a dynamic web platform with several key features including an introduction page, navigation menu, document download form, document table, and download, delete, and resume buttons.

METHODOLOGY

The study was conducted from 07/04/2022 to 19/05/2022 and involved a sample of 114 healthcare professionals from various locations in Morocco. A questionnaire comprising three sections (personal information, lifelong learning for personal development, and lifelong learning for professional development) was used as the research instrument.

RESULTS

The average age of the participants was 43 years, and 76.8% had more than 11 years of experience in the field. The results indicate a correlation between professional development and lifelong learning among healthcare professionals. The two most important factors driving lifelong learning were identified as the advancement of the healthcare profession and the need to elevate the quality of care. Also, this research objective is to develop a dynamic online platform featuring an introduction page, navigation menu, document download form, document table, and download, delete, and resume buttons.

CONCLUSIONS

According to the findings, healthcare professionals consider lifelong learning an ongoing and continuous process essential to their work.
