Abstract

A student at a medical school must know and be able to perform the necessary set of medical manipulations. Simulation training, as an obligatory component of vocational training, provides each trainee with the opportunity to perform professional activities in accordance with professional standards of medical care. Objectives: The goal of the work was the introduction of digital technologies in the educational process. That will allow one to better assess the level of knowledge of students. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The study was conducted in 4 stages: a questionnaire, to determine the initial level of knowledge; theoretical lesson with students; development of manual skills on the simulator; control of acquired knowledge and skills. Findings: The increase in life expectancy, the increase in material and technical equipment and, in general, the increase in the percentage ratio of patients of elderly and senile age dictates the need to take into account not only the characteristics of metabolism and drug interaction, but also the probability of emergence of emergency conditions at the doctor's appointment. In this regard, students should be ready not only to provide urgent help, but also to orient themselves in the office. Application/Improvements: The use of simulators of the 5th level of realism fully meets the modern requirements of education and can be applied in educational institutions.
