THE ROLE OF VIRTUAL AND SIMULATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE ORGANIZATION OF QUALITY MEDICAL EDUCATION

##article.abstract##

Abstract.  Comprehensive  measures  are  being  implemented  in  our  country  to 
develop the health care system, ensure that the rights of citizens to health care are 
guaranteed by the state, create a healthy lifestyle for citizens, and create conditions for 
all layers of the population to use medical services. Today, modern trends in medical 
education suggest the wide use of simulation technology, which allows to achieve the 
maximum level of realism in simulating various clinical scenarios, as well as to develop 
technical skills for individual diagnostic and treatment manipulations. The introduction 
of  modern  training  complexes  of  the  new  generation,  the  creation  of  key  training 
centers will smoothly build a bridge from the simulation to the clinic to the real patient. 
Simulators allow to train the basic methods of open surgery with a small surgical field, 
endovascular  surgery  and  endoscopic  surgery,  and  to  train  the  surgeon  in  these 
methods, which allows to repeat various operational situations, and to evaluate the 
actions  performed  by  the  doctor-surgeon,  to  the  hardware-software  complex.  In 
addition, it provides an opportunity to disseminate information on simulation of new 
techniques and tools via the Internet, as well as distance learning.
