Recommendations in the form of research topics and specific aspects.

Research topics	Specific aspects
What is the current state of training in eHealth? (notably regarding the internet of things)	Optimal training Suboptimal training Little to no training Theory versus practical Preclinical versus clinical Optional versus mandatory
What are the barriers to training in eHealth?	Student characteristics (eg, age, prior education) Competing curricular priorities Lack of dialogue with the health care system No strong drivers for change Lack of interest Technical issues (eg, internet access) Limited availability of useful, free items
What are the enhancing factors for training in eHealth?	Student characteristics (eg, age, prior education) Perceived relevance Students’ interest Medical school personnel’s interest Governments and leaders’ interest Medical associations’ interest Strong drivers for change
What could be done to enhance training in eHealth?	Increasing interest of students, medical school personnel, governments, leaders, and medical associations Increasing requirements by accrediting bodies Implementation of new courses Implementation of new rotations Inviting experts to medical schools Planning ahead (eg, anticipating technical issues) Mentoring (by students, residents, and doctors, etc) Investing resources such as funding
What are the competencies and skills in eHealth that medical students want or should acquire?	Knowledge of basic principles Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics Data for surveillance, planning, and managing of scarce resources Data visualization, analysis, quality assessment, and governance eHealth applied to public health and preventive medicine Confidentiality and risks associated with data collection and communication Critical appraisal Technical skills (eg, programming) Cognitive aspects (eg, computational thinking) Interdisciplinary collaboration Communication Ethics and legal aspects
What is the impact of the implementation of an initiative such as a special course or a special rotation related to eHealth?	Learning outcomes Patient care outcomes Students’ appreciation Costs Best if optional versus if mandatory
How is ehealth training discussed in non–peer-reviewed publications?	Broader discussion of this topic Data, perspectives, information that might differ from peer-reviewed articles Most of the specific aspects for other research topics listed above apply
