Abstract

Learning processes in medical practices in medicinal schools put more emphasis on the hard sciences than they do on developing soft skills like empathy and communication. For this reason, the medical humanities emerged to provide a "different" take on the creative process. Medical ethics, the doctor-patient relationship, clinical research, mental illness, and professionalism are just a few of the topics that have been utilized to discuss in medical school. A strong connection between classroom learning and clinical experience is crucial for medical school graduates. Students graduating from a medical program are expected to have experience with patient care, clinical procedures, and theoretical understanding. These expectations are not reaching the level in classical or conventional teaching pedagogies of medical education. The recent approaches practiced in medical education provide greater outcomes with expertise and knowledge. This review focuses on the merits and demerits of conventional teaching methods practiced in medical education over the advantages achieved through modern technologies like e-learning and digital learning that have been implemented to produce medical professionals having profound knowledge in respective fields in a safe and convenient environment.
