Core Tip

Core Tip: This minireview proposes an integrated model combining technology-enhanced learning and self-regulated learning to improve psychological adaptability and clinical outcomes in medical students. It highlights three pathways, emotional regulation, cognitive optimization, and metacognitive awakening, supported by tools like virtual simulation and learning analytics. The model forms a virtuous cycle: Technical support enhances self-regulation, which boosts learning outcomes and psychological resilience. Challenges and future directions, including generative artificial intelligence, are also discussed.
