This issue the CHIA Examination Committee recommends: ‘Towards a new paradigm for digital health training and education in Australia: exploring the implication of the fifth industrial revolution’
This article authored by Pang, TY, Lee, T-K & Murshed, M 2023, presents a new paradigm for educating and training Australian healthcare professionals and students in the field of digital health, inspired by the fifth industrial revolution or Industry 5.0. The authors highlight the importance of students developing the capacity to recognise and exploit the potential of new technologies and healthcare professionals learning how to integrate the technologies into their daily work.
Looking at the future of work from the perspectives of Industry 5.0 (work, workplace, workforce), the authors outline the proposed learning and teaching framework, pedagogical methods, integration of technologies, and assessment strategies to deliver the skilled workforce of the future. From their perspective, this new paradigm in digital health bridges the gap between training and the workplace to deliver a more efficient, effective, and sustainable healthcare system.
