Digital transformation (DT) streamlined medical curriculum revision, improving guideline quality and creating an interactive infrastructure. Key factors included integrated teams and user-focused development for successful DT in medical education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Digital Transformation
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- Digital transformation (DT) is reshaping medical education, yet its impact on curriculum and guideline development remains underexplored.
- Existing research often focuses on technological tools like VR and remote learning, overlooking DT's role in foundational curriculum processes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the enabling factors and impacts of digital transformation (DT) on the 2022 revision of Japan's Model Core Curriculum (MCC).
- To understand how DT influences the practical processes of curriculum guideline development.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative document analysis utilizing a constructivist perspective.
- Thematic analysis of materials including emails, meeting minutes, and survey responses from the MCC revision team.
Main Results:
- Enabling factors included dedicated experimentation spaces, seamless integration between revision and digitalization teams, continuous development cycles, and alignment with existing methodologies.
- Impacts of DT encompassed enhanced data accuracy and consistency, improved data preview and aggregation capabilities, and significant workload reduction through expedited processes.
Conclusions:
- Digital transformation (DT) not only optimized the curriculum revision workflow but also elevated the quality of the resulting guidelines.
- The MCC evolved into an interactive infrastructure, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary expertise (IT and medical education) and a supportive environment for user adoption and practice.
