A growing need for care along with a rapid increase in medical knowledge is creating challenges when it comes to training healthcare personnel effectively. Managing these challenges requires new ways of working and new tools in medical education. The digital tools and actual patient cases in Sectra Education Portal help create a bridge between training and healthcare. When students can realistically interact with patient cases, it creates deeper understanding of and insight into anatomy as well as the body’s functions and processes. This improves the learning process and helps students develop their analytical and problem-solving skills.
