Abstract
Information technology (IT) is booming in the recent years, which has been changing our world and our lives style broadly. With the development of the new generation of IT and internet, medical education has entered a new era of intelligentization, networking and digitalization. The new-generation IT, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), three-dimensional (3D) printing and artificial intelligence (AI), has been applied in medical education and evolved as pedagogical strategies to promote the learner-centered teaching method. In this paper, we review the current applications of VR, AR, 3D printing and AI in the medical education, and further discuss the future prospects of their applications in the medical vocational education.
