NEW STEPS TO OPEN THE CENTER FOR SIMULATION TRAINING AT INSTITUTE OF POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION OF NMU

22.07.2016

O.O. Bohomolets National medical university passed the great way in development of simulation learning methods. Drilling the practical skills on mannequins was traditionally used in study at many departments of University, and the provision with material base for it was always the priority for University Administration. As a result from this long work all graduates from O.O. Bohomolets NMU pass through practice-oriented exam, where they demonstrate the ability to render the medical aid. However, the study of experience of foreign colleagues under TEMPUS program in Great Britain, probation due to individual grants in Sweden, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Latvia and acquaintance with work of center at Odessa National medical university were the background for establishment of Center for simulation study for more qualitative training at postgraduate stage.

The establishment of the uniform center for training allows more efficiently accumulating material and human resources. During last year all existing reserves were mobilized for study and the practical course on rendering the emergency aid was implemented for interns of all specialties. All teachers that implement this project have the certificates of trainers from ALS European Reanimation Council. The implementation of this course demonstrated the significant advantages of such training.

Today we received the new modern mannequins that will allow significantly enlarging the range of simulation courses, including the aid at trauma and emergency aid at children. Already since September, 2016 the interns from Institute of postgraduate education at O.O. Bohomolets NMU will come to the renewed Center for simulation training. Now University has been waiting to receive further batch of mannequins, and next year it is planned to purchase the simulation mannequin to drill complex situations in obstetrics.

The implementation and extension of modern innovative learning methods is the guaranty for constant growth in quality for training of doctors-specialists that are so necessary for our state and that is the brand feature for O.O. Bohomolets National medical university!
