WAYS TO IMPROVE SIMULATION TRAINING ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE SPECIALTY “ENDOSCOPY”

Abstract

Simulation training has proven to be effective among medical students and medical practitioners. It is known that the development of endoscopic procedures is a complex process. Simulation in endoscopy allows physicians to acquire technical and cognitive skills in a specially designed environment. The purpose of training in the simulation center is to use the capabilities of modern teaching technologies in mastering the skills of endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary system, based on advances in robotics and virtual reality. This article describes the chronology of the appearance of endoscopic simulators, their modern realities and the methodology of simulation training in different time periods in the specialty “endoscopy”.
