Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research focused specifically on the topic of digital professionalism lapse, which was the topic of discussion at the 2021 AMEE - Association for Medical Education in Europe. Given that digital professionalism has not yet been clearly defined and case reports are often sporadic or de-contextualised, we first conducted an interview survey to collect detailed examples of behaviour that could be considered lapse from digital professionalism. 11 medical educators were interviewed and 25 cases were collected. The results are being analysed in a thematic analysis in line with the research question, and are being compiled for submission. In addition, the process of research on previous research was summarised in a Japanese literature review and published.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

新型コロナウイルス・パンデミックの影響からデジタルテクノロジーを利用した診療や教育の機会、あるいはその逸脱に関する報告が増えてきており、デジタル・プロフェッショナリズムについての評価にもこれまで以上に喫緊の課題としてとらえる必要が出てきた。 本研究はその時代背景とテクノロジーの進歩によって生じた現代的な医学教育における課題を議論するにあたっての根拠の一つとすることができる。また、そのような議論の先には、デジタル・プロフェッショナリズムの教育を各大学医学部のカリキュラムや各研修病院のプログラムに反映させる可能性を資する。
