Abstract
The combination of network communication and medical education gave birth to distance medical education (DME). Now the fifth generation of mobile communication technology (5G) with high data rate, low delay, save energy, reduce cost and other advantages to the telemedicine education has provided a substantial change. It can make the utilization of excellent resources have sufficiency and high efficiency, which equalize educational resources. Teachers can stay face-to-face with students, even if they are in different places. It makes the teaching content is updated in time and so on. This paper reviews the development history of distance medicine education and looks forward to the prospect brought by the combination of 5G communication technology. How to guide clinical practice and improve the learning efficiency and interest.
