SIMULATION TRAINING IN THE FORMATION OF FUTURE DOCTORS AS A WAY OF DEVELOPING THEIR PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

It is shown that the use of simulation technologies in the learning process allows medical students to gain practical experience and qualitatively increase the level of their professionalism against the background of the appropriate level of theoretical knowledge. The content of simulation training as an art to imitate reality, the sequence of events and actions or the mental process of training in the quality of medical care to patients is considered. Its advantages and disadvantages are revealed. An analysis of the effectiveness of simulation training with the involvement of a standardized “patient” during the internship by students of the Department of Surgical Diseases. The role of teachers of the department is shown, who observed the behavior of the “standardized patient” and evaluated the results of students’ work according to the scoring system, according to the criteria. A detailed analysis of the training results, a joint discussion of measures aimed at improving treatment and diagnostic tactics and errors were conducted. Methodical recommendations for training have been developed. It is concluded that the method of “standardized patients” is an effective way to gain practical experience of clinical competence and its evaluation. The worldwide spread of this method indicates the need for its intensive implementation in Ukraine.
