Abstract:
The ongoing digitalization is opening new perspectives for undergraduate and postgraduate education in cardiovascular medicine and enables innovative teaching methods and resources. In this position paper of the German Cardiac Society (DGK), we examine the use of digital technologies and innovative approaches to optimize cardiovascular education and cardiology residency training, and outline key strategic cornerstones which are indispensable for scientifically guided teaching development. Digital platforms already provide a wide range of learning tools, including interactive simulations, virtual case studies, and online courses. These formats make it possible to convey complex cardiology content in a practice-oriented manner. Modern technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Mixe/Augmented Reality (AR), and 3D printing also offer immersive learning experiences that deepen the understanding of complex anatomical structures and clinical scenarios. Simulations of interventions and procedures make it possible to train practical skills in a risk-free environment, thereby increasing the success rate of complex procedures and improving patient safety. eLearning platforms particularly promote flexible and individualized education and cardiology residency training that accommodate different learning needs and paces; however, their use is not widespread or, in some cases, not available at all. To foster continuous development of teaching, the integration of evidence-based concepts is necessary in order to supplement existing teaching methods in a meaningful way, make them accessible to all learners, and integrate them seamlessly into current educational and cardiology residency training structures. The aim of this position paper of the DGK's eCardiology Section is to highlight research gaps in the field of digital education and cardiology residency training, thereby contributing in particular to the development, standardization, implementation, and evaluation of digital learning strategies as well as to the scientifically grounded investigation of their effectiveness in education and cardiology residency training. Through a fundamental structural transformation in how teaching in the context of undergraduate and cardiology residency training is perceived and designed by those responsible in academic settings, new opportunities arise for both teachers and learners.
