Future health professionals, including dentists, must critically engage with digital health technologies to enhance patient care. While digital health is increasingly being integrated into the curricula of health professions, its interpretation varies widely depending on the discipline, health care setting, and local factors. This viewpoint proposes a structured set of domains to guide the designing of a digital health curriculum tailored to the unique needs of dentistry in Australia. The paper aims to share a premise for curriculum development that aligns with the current evidence and the national digital health strategy, serving as a foundation for further discussion and implementation in dental programs.
未来的医疗专业人员,包括牙医,必须认真对待数字健康技术,以提高患者护理水平。虽然数字健康越来越多地被纳入医疗专业课程,但根据学科、医疗保健环境和当地因素的不同,其解释差异很大。本文观点提出了一套结构化的领域,以指导设计符合澳大利亚牙科独特需求的数字健康课程。本文旨在分享一个与当前证据和国家数字健康战略相一致的课程开发前提,为牙科项目的进一步讨论和实施奠定基础。
