This study highlights the significant role of digital literacy in directly enhancing the scientific creativity of medical students, as well as the mediating effect of knowledge transformation, particularly in its externalization dimension. The findings provide valuable insights for educational interventions, indicating that strategies should not only focus on digital skills but also integrate knowledge management training. Furthermore, the proposed DLSC-SECI model provides a theoretical framework for systematic training aimed at improving the scientific creativity of medical students in the digital era.
