Medical student Rishma Jivan discusses her article, "Medical curriculum 2.0: Integrating technology and innovation in medical education." She argues for an urgent update to medical training, embedding technology and innovation as core components to prepare future physicians for a digitally transformed health care landscape. Rishma highlights the necessity for medical students to become active contributors to health technology, not just end-users, to address pressing issues like physician burnout and patient distrust, and to bridge the gap between tech development and clinical needs. The conversation explores integrating concepts like the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach from the tech world into medical thinking, fostering collaboration between medical professionals and technology developers. She proposes a curriculum enriched with hands-on experiences, partnerships with innovators, and inclusion of diverse voices to ensure new solutions are equitable and effective. The key takeaway is: It is imperative to evolve medical education to equip the next generation of physicians with the skills to co-create and implement innovative solutions for better patient care and a more sustainable health care system.
