Simulation in Healthcare Education. Building a Simulation Programme: AMEE Guide no 50 (Russian version edited by Z.Z. Balkizov)

Abstract

In its simplest form «simulation» can be defined as a technique of imitation of the reality. A wide range of simulation devices and techniques are currently used in med­ical education. The choice to use simula­tion is dictated not only by various driving forces, but also by the intended outcomes and goals. These outcomes could include an ability to train and assess, improve patient safety and conduct research. It is important not to view the techniques of simulation as a panacea for all educational needs. A «best fit» approach is recom­mended where the decision whether or not to use any simulation technique is matched with the intended outcomes.

Centers of practical skills as a necessary component of medical students training

Abstract

A collaborative study between Kazan State Medical University in Kazan, Rus­sia and Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States, determined that medical education is­sues are similar across the two countries. While this article describes applications of standardized patient protocols across disciplines in Universities in the United States, the belief of these authors is that the methodology and the issues that arise may be applicable internationally.

Simulation as the innovative method of training pediatric emergency

Abstract

The pediatrician is often dealing with the acute conditions requiring emergency therapy. The nature and content of emer­gency in various clinical conditions, often presenting an immediate threat to life, have certain characteristics. According to WHO, deaths from preventable causes occur among children in 25% of cases. We can assume that in each forth case the death of a child in Russian Federation is conditionally preventable and depends on the qualification and skills of the specialist providing the emergency medical as­sistance.

Development and application of virtual simulation training in medical education

Abstract

The only effective and safe way of working out the practical skills now provide virtual technologies. Modelled on the computer responsive to the situation of students and completely mimic the physiological response of the patient’s physician or re­produce an adequate response to the ma­nipulation of tissue surgeon. Doctors, who have mastered the practical skills using virtual simulatiors, much faster and more confidently go to there interventions, their future actual results are becoming more professional. In the course of learning by repetition and demonstration of correct tactics surgical student shows all the basic manipulation of the rules and their implementation.

Experience in implementation of the simulation educational programs of doc¬tors’ postgraduate training in emergency medicine and anesthesiology

Abstract

The modern technology of simulation allows us to solve a wide range of problems of practical training in medicine of acute states, allowing the specialist to improve their skills in the existing programs of postgraduate education without risk to the lives of real patients. During 4 years of work there were established, introduced and successfully implemented on a per­manent basis five training courses.

Return of virtual laparoscopy training

Abstract

Virtual simulators allow to master the basic skills and work out practical manual skills in laparoscopy, to acquire an initial practical operational experience in a virtual environment without harm to the patient. However, due to the high cost these devices are not yet widely spread. In this article we attempt to determine the return on investment and economic impact of virtual simulators in practi­cal training in laparoscopic gynecology. Calculations have shown the savings of 17 238 rubles per intern. Simulator pays off in 2 years. In the subsequent 3 years of maintenance the economic effect will be more than 8 million rubles.
