Abstract
The skill of knowledge management empowers practitioners to efficiently integrate and apply knowledge in the clinical context. Current medical knowledge is vast which is beyond the human capacity to retain. Hence, modern-day learning is not just knowledge acquisition, but the organization of knowledge in a retrievable manner. Advancing technology in digital learning spaces and artificial intelligence enables the development of personalized knowledge platforms. Clinicians should find their own ideal spaces for knowledge management from the early stages of their careers, and develop it into a lifelong learning platform, which will eventually lead to better patient care.
