Abstract

In the digital era, medical education faces new challenges and opportunities. This study explores how digital technology drives theoretical innovations and developments in medical education. Through literature review and theoretical analysis, we systematically examine the evolution of medical education theories in the context of digitalization and their impact on teaching models, resource management, teacher-student interaction, and learning outcomes assessment. Firstly, we propose a theoretical framework for digital medical education, based on a review of existing digital technologies in education and the unique characteristics of medical education. Secondly, from a resource management perspective, we analyze the optimization of digital teaching resources for courses like Medical Microbiology and Traditional Chinese Medicine Gynecology, and the role of digital textbooks in promoting autonomous learning. Additionally, we assess the application of immersive interactive experiences in ideological and political theory courses in medical schools, providing theoretical support for building a medical education system that meets modern demands. This paper discusses the application of digital multimedia teaching in clinical medicine and the interdisciplinary integration of "Medicine+X" in student development. Findings indicate that digital technology enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of medical education, offering personalized and autonomous learning experiences. Based on these findings, we offer recommendations to further innovate and apply digital medical education theory. This study lays a preliminary framework for future exploration of digital medical education theory.
