Abstract. The integration of technology into medical education is vital to improve the quality of education and prepare health professionals to meet the dynamic challenges of modern health care systems. This article examines the relevance of electronic medical records (EMRs) as an innovative educational tool to meet the growing demand for interactive and dynamic approaches to medical education. EMCs represent a promising way to engage learners in a visual and interactive learning environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of electronic medical records in medical education, focusing on their ability to improve understanding, memorization, and application of complex medical concepts. By combining spatial information, clinical data, and interactive features, EMCs are designed to provide comprehensive and contextualized learning for both medical students and practicing physicians. Our results show that the use of electronic medical records significantly improves overall learning outcomes compared to traditional methods. The interactive nature of EMCs promotes a better understanding of anatomical structures, disease pathways, and medical procedures. In addition, learners using EMCs demonstrate increased confidence in translating theoretical knowledge into practical skills. In conclusion, electronic medical records are a powerful educational tool that can revolutionize medical education. The results of this study emphasize the effectiveness of EMRs in improving learning outcomes and bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical application. As technology advances, the integration of EMRs into medical curricula opens the door to a new era of interactive and effective medical education. The integration of technology into medical education is vital to improve the quality of education and prepare health professionals to meet the dynamic challenges of modern health care systems. This article examines the relevance of electronic medical records (EMRs) as an innovative educational tool to meet the growing demand for interactive and dynamic approaches to medical education. EMCs represent a promising way to engage learners in a visual and interactive learning environment.
