Trends analysis and future study of medical and pharmacy education: a scoping review.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of emerging trends and future developments in medical and pharmacy education, addressing the need to adapt educational approaches to the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
methodsA systematic literature search was conducted in multiple databases to identify relevant studies published between April 2014 and April 2024. Studies pertaining to trends, forecasting, and future directions in medical and pharmacy education were included. Data extraction and synthesis followed a comprehensive process involving independent reviewers and standardized forms. Emerging themes were identified through coding and conceptual mapping techniques.
resultsOut of the 926 records found, a total of 22 studies were reviewed, revealing several key trends: (1) Integration of artificial intelligence (AI), virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), and digital technologies to enhance learning and skills; (2) Curricular reforms emphasizing interprofessional education, value-based care, population health, and social determinants; (3) Adoption of multidisciplinary approaches incorporating genomics, biotechnology, and data science; (4) Increased focus on preventive care and chronic disease management; (5) Establishment of ethical frameworks and competency standards for human-AI collaboration. A significant emphasis was placed on balancing technological innovation with core clinical skills and humanistic values.
conclusionsThis review highlights transformative trends in medical and pharmacy education, providing insights for stakeholders on aligning curricula and teaching methods with the evolving healthcare landscape. Embracing technological advancements like AI and VR/AR, while promoting adaptability, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patient-centered care, is essential for maintaining educational relevance. Developing a workforce proficient in human-AI collaboration and equipped with multidisciplinary expertise is crucial for future healthcare delivery.
