AbstractAs the main goals of Medical Simulation Center of City Clinical Hospital named after S.P. Botkin (hereinafter MSC of Botkin hospital) the organization and maintenance of specific conditions for increasing effectiveness and improving the quality of professional trainings for medical specialists could not have been reached without modern technologies. During the study of an applied professional training model with the focus on simulation technologies there was an anonymous survey numbering 710 participants who were the MSC "trainees" representing different specialties, experience or qualification including social work or/and education system specialists. All participants showed their positive feelings domination and were satisfied with the class arrangement, tutors' work, models and methods of teaching, a wide range of activities during the classes, facilities and high-reality equipment.
