In this episode of Quick Takes, Dr. David Gratzer sits down with Drs. Ivan Silver, Peter Selby, Sanjeev Sockalingam, and David Goldbloom. This esteemed group of influential educators discuss how technology has changed medical education, and some of the potential and pitfalls of future changes.

In this episode the following was discussed:

• How technology in the classroom began as video-based lectures and the limits of this teaching model.
• How existing online learning allows for more flexibility and accessibility.
• The future (and present) of learning through VR and simulation-based teaching.
• The dangers technology poses to privacy.
• And how to integrate technology into the medical education curriculum – without it replacing training in other necessary skills.

Out of respect to what each of these educators had to say, we will be releasing their full interviews in four separate Double Take episodes. You’ll hear their responses to how technology functions in medical education (past, present and future) in our main Quick Takes episode, but their individual episodes offer far more substance. We highly recommend you listen to them all!
