Influence of Online Learning in Medical Education is Neither Disruptive Nor Supplementary: It’s Time to Walk Parallel!
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Technology enhanced education; an ever-evolving process is not a novel concept in medical education. The supporters of online learning stated that disruption of Tertiary Education Institutions (TEI) is inevitable and created hype. Within the passage of time, the hype slowly faded which is supported by articles concluding that traditional medical education cannot be replaced by online learning. Medical educators attempted a hybrid or supplementary strategy. Even then it led to stagnation due to the need of appropriate infrastructure and resources to implement supplementary strategy. Further to move over the change curve and reach the ‘plateau of productivity’ to successfully utilize the online learning technology in Medical Education, requires a newer strategy and business model. Here, the complementary strategy and conceptual framework of complementary business model is proposed as stipulation to overcome the weakness of Tertiary Education Institutions (TEI) and online education providers to enhance the delivery of outcome/competency based Medical Education.
