Health professions education has undergone major changes with the advent and adoption of digital technologies worldwide. This study aims to map the existing evidence and identify gaps and research priorities to enable robust and relevant research in digital health professions education.
This study identified 77 eligible systematic reviews. All of them included experimental studies and evaluated the effectiveness of digital education interventions in different health care disciplines or different digital education modalities.
The study identified a large number of research questions regarding digital education, which collectively reflect a diverse and comprehensive research agenda. Our conceptual framework will help educators and researchers plan, develop, and study digital education. More evidence from low- and middle-income countries is needed.
