Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of digital health (dHealth) technologies in medical practice. Despite this, medical curricula often provide limited exposure to these technologies. Objective: This study investigates the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical students’ intentions to integrate dHealth technologies into their future practice. Methods: We employed a two-phase survey at the University of Montreal’s medical school to assess changes in perceptions before (N=184) and after (N=138) the pandemic. The survey used component-based structural equation modeling (SEM) and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to analyze our dataset. Results: Findings indicate limited exposure to dHealth technologies within the medical curriculum. However, there was a strong consensus on the necessity of formal dHealth training. A notable shift towards the acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) and telehealth tools was observed, emphasizing the pandemic’s significant role in altering students' views on these technologies. Conclusions: The study advocates for the integration of formal dHealth training in medical curricula to better prepare future physicians for the demands of an increasingly digital healthcare landscape. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced medical students' perceptions, highlighting the urgent need to adapt medical education to include comprehensive dHealth training.
