dc.description.abstractThe integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in medical education is crucial to meet the evolving needs of the global population and ensure competency among healthcare trainees. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where resources are limited, leveraging advanced ICTs has the potential to revolutionize medical education by promoting student-centred learning through asynchronous and distributed access. The recent introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) = in medical education has transformed learning into a personalized experiences, virtual simulations, and real-time feedback. Our experience with use of simple technology in Uganda serves as a prime example of how innovative technologies are being utilized to enhance medical education in a LMICs setting. Our experience in the implementation of interactive displays in simulation training and the establishment of low-cost content production studio has significantly improved trainings and learnings. By integrating these technologies closer to the learning environment, students can access information before or after interacting with their teachers, engage in higher cognitive activities, and stimulate problem-solving skills. The success of these initiatives demonstrates their potential for adoption to elevate the quality of medical education in LMICs. Embracing ICT in medical training not only bridges educational gaps but also fosters inclusive and equitable access to resources in LMICs.
