Abstract:   (795 Views)
This editorial reflects on the dynamic shifts in medical education, highlighting the tension between technological advancement and the enduring need for human connection. The synthesis of research in this issue of the Journal of Medical Education Development (J Med Edu Dev. 2026;19(1)) reveals a landscape where leadership, learning preferences, and power dynamics play pivotal roles. From the nuances of clinical self-efficacy to the integration of AI frameworks and the challenges of interprofessional collaboration, the articles collectively advocate for a pedagogical approach that balances innovation with empathy. This commentary underscores that true reform requires not just new tools, but a fundamental rethinking of the hidden curriculum and the learning environment to foster resilient, compassionate professionals.
