Digital transformation is redefining medical practice, the training of healthcare professionals, and the relationship with patients. Its impact on medicine requires healthcare systems to constantly adapt and integrate technologies such as artificial intelligence, data analysis, and telemedicine. Healthcare delivery is entering a new era in which critical thinking, continuous professional development, and digital literacy are essential skills for physicians.
 
In this session, which is part of the 4th-year clinical rotations (General and Family Medicine/Public Health, Internal Medicine, and Surgery), we propose a critical reflection on the ethical, clinical, and human impacts, opportunities, and challenges emerging in this new digital ecosystem. The event is open to the entire academic community.
