Simulation training in medicine: from history to a significant role in education
https://doi.org/10.51922/1818-426X.2025.3.105
Abstract
Simulation technologies in the practical training of medical professionals are the most important tool of modern medical education. A review of the literature on the use of simulation training in the field of medical education is presented, articles on simulation training at the specialist level and continuing postgraduate medical education are analyzed. Research has shown that training using simulation technologies leads to an improvement in the quality of training for future doctors. With the opening of simulation centers and the introduction of certification using simulation technologies at medical universities across the country, simulation training is becoming basic in the structure of medical education. Due to the expansion of opportunities, the prospects for the use of simulation technologies are significantly expanding, and there is a need to develop new methods to improve the effectiveness of specialist training.
