Abstract:
Medical education is vital in producing competent
healthcare professionals and advancing medical
knowledge. The integration of e-learning has emerged
as a transformative approach to enhance medical education by improving accessibility, cost-effectiveness
and interactive learning experiences. With the COVID19 pandemic further accelerating e-learning adoption,
analysing the trends, publication collaborations and
publication patterns in this domain is crucial. This study
conducted a bibliometric analysis of published documents on the Scopus database in e-learning in medical
education to explore the trends in scientific productivity.
Publications in the domain has sporadically increased
since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic introduces a changing focus in research and
emerging trends, with COVID-19 becoming a dominant
topic and emerging theme. A collaborative research
environment exists between authors; however, there
is a divide between developed and developing countries in publication distribution, emphasising the need
for equitable participation. This study contributes to a
comprehensive understanding of e-learning in medical
education, emphasising collaboration, publication patterns, emerging trends, and the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. Researchers can leverage these findings to
advance e-learning in medical education and enhance
the quality of medical training and education.
