The aim of the work – to present our own experience in using different forms of simulation technology in preparing professionally oriented оlympiad participants on the infectious diseases course.
The main body. Innovative methods of teaching the course of infectious diseases in the higher medical school introduced by the authors for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of education are considered. The issues of conducting medical student’s olympiads on professional disciplines are elucidated in detail. The authors’ own experience of using the variants of imitation technology (case-study methods, role-playing games, “brain attack”) has been analyzed.
Over the past five years, 53 undergraduate students have been teached on the basis of a student’s scientific course at the Department of Infectious Diseases in Dnipropetrovsk Medical Academy. Of these, 14 students directly participated in professionally oriented Olympiad at the annual Ukrainian Olympiads on infectious diseases. The result of productive training was taking of six prize-places in individual competitions and eight prize-places in team competitions.
Сonclusions. Unlike the traditional forms of study, the implementation of active methods, on example of training for an Olympiad, allows to form the professional skills and active realization of acquired knowledge, model the integral content of individual work, thus shifting the center of significance from the process of transferring, processing and assimilating information to independent creative activity. Such an approach can allow a student to achieve high results both during the competition at the student’s olympiad, and in the future in the practical activity of forming the person of a competitive specialist.
