Abstract

This chapter explores integrating digital health technologies within health professions curricula, highlighting their transformative potential and inherent challenges. As digital tools become increasingly integral to healthcare, the need for comprehensive education and training in this area has never been more critical. The pandemic significantly accelerated the adoption of telehealth, artificial intelligence (AI), and remote monitoring, emphasizing the urgency for updated curricula that can prepare healthcare professionals. This chapter provides various strategies for effective curriculum development, including innovative approaches to faculty training and student engagement. Future trends, opportunities, and ethical considerations for navigating these technologies will be discussed, such as data privacy and patient consent. By equipping future healthcare professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge, the chapter aims to prepare them for the complexities of a digitalized healthcare environment and to ensure they can navigate and contribute to this rapidly evolving field.
