Abstract

ABSTRACT In the field of medical education, crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining views and inputs from a heterogeneous group of people using preferably digital platforms, with an aim to contribute to medical learning, creation of contents, and problem-solving and strengthen assessments. Considering the fact that medical knowledge continues to change with each day, this approach facilitates the process of continuous updation of the educational content based on recent developments. Regardless of the scope, application, and merits that can be attributed to crowdsourcing in medical education, there are some potential concerns that must be taken into account for optimizing the benefits. In summary, crowdsourcing has immense scope in medical education to create an inclusive and updated learning environment for medical students and healthcare professionals. The inputs generated through collective minds are expected to enrich the learning experience, and thus, we must look forward to exploring it for better utility.
