The aim of the work – to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of modern simulation and multimedia technologies in practical training of students and postgraduates.
The main body. The simulation training and translation of procedures was introduced to routine use at the Department of Robotic and Endoscopic Surgery of Odesa National Medical University. The possibilities of these technologies were tested during practical classes in the students’ surgical club and on elective course of Endoscopic Surgery, and during postgraduate courses for doctors “Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery”.
High efficiency of this type of training was demonstrated. During the course of the training, there were no significant difficulties in using of both translation system and the simulation training.
Conclusions. 1. The use of translation system of endoscopic procedures with two-way audio communication with the audience allows to improve demonstrativeness of the practical classes.
2. Using of Simbionix virtual simulators and SimuLab training boxes in postgraduate courses and practical exercises with the students showed its high effectiveness in mastering the practical skills of endoscopic surgery.
3. It is necessary to use a combination of practical skills and theoretical part, according to world standards.
