Abstract
In the rapidly evolving landscape of medical education, the shift from traditional classrooms to digital screens has gained significant attention, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This review examines the comparative effectiveness and perceptions of traditional versus digital learning environments in medical education. The findings highlight the benefits of digital learning, including cost savings and accessibility, while recognizing the value of face-to-face interactions for social and communication skills development. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews indicate a positive impact of flipped classrooms on student learning outcomes, underscoring the importance of pre-class preparation and interactive sessions. Additionally, digital tools such as virtual reality enhance the understanding of complex concepts, though challenges like digital inequality persist. By integrating early clinical experiences and active learning strategies, a balanced educational approach can be achieved, leveraging the strengths of both traditional and digital methods to improve student engagement and learning outcomes.
