Digital simulations miss crucial hands-on learning in medical education

Digital simulations in medical education fail to teach crucial "tacit learning," the hands-on intuition essential for clinical practice. A study using ancient texts showed that even detailed written instructions cannot replace the physical judgment gained through real-life, mentored practice, a challenge digital tools also face. The correspondence suggests integrating these unspoken elements into future digital tools to better equip medical trainees with vital sensory judgment and embodied skills.
