Impact of Technology on Human Behaviors in Medical Professions Education - Volume II

Given the success of Research Topic Impact of Technology on Human Behaviors in Medical Professions Education and the necessity of this subject area, we are pleased to announce the launch of Volume II.

Human behaviors are essential in understanding how individuals engage in medical science academic activities. Healthcare systems across the globe have witnessed a significant shift in recent years by integrating technology in innovating new methods and practices to improve educational practices. Therefore, pedagogical practices in medical sciences are expected to be consistent with the current developments so that medical students are prepared with the necessary skills when entering workplaces. In addition, the excessive use of technology has created severe concerns in the academic community that needs further investigation. Thus, it is crucial to know how teachers and students in medical sciences engage themselves in challenging behaviors, particularly in academic activities.

This Research Topic aims to call for papers examining the influence of technology on human behavior in medical education. We invite researchers, practitioners, teachers, and students in all medical science disciplines to submit their research papers, encompassing Quantitative studies, Qualitative studies, Empirical Case studies, Mixed-Method studies, Experimental Research, and Review studies. This Research Topic welcomes articles about but not only limited to the following topics:

1. impact of technology on human behavior in medical professions teaching
2. impact of technology on human behavior in medical professions training and learning
3. effect of different social and psychological factors on healthy/unhealthy use of technology in medical sciences
