Medical education is at a turning point due to the rapid advances in biomedical technology and robotics in rehabilitation. This editorial examines the importance of integrating these innovations into medical curricula, highlighting statistics on medical education in Latin America and Peru, and discusses the challenges and opportunities for improving the training of future health professionals. In the 21st century, technology is redefining medicine and, consequently, medical education. Biomedical technology and robotics in rehabilitation offer new tools to enhance teaching and clinical practice. In Latin America, including Peru, it is crucial for medical schools to adapt their programs to incorporate these technologies and adequately prepare their students.
