Accreditation of specialists with higher medical and pharmaceutical education

The issue of reforming not only the healthcare system as a whole, but also the system of training medical and pharmaceutical personnel is relevant today. The main direction of the National Project "Healthcare" is the solution of the issue of providing healthcare institutions with qualified personnel, the introduction of a system of continuing medical education (the National Project "Healthcare", the federal project "Providing medical organizations of the healthcare system with qualified personnel"). In this regard, the requirements for persons who have mastered educational programs and are engaged in medical activities on the territory of Russia have changed. Admission to medical activity, according to modern trends, should be objective, uniform and universal throughout the country. The aim of this article is familiarization of specialists with higher medical and pharmaceutical education with the legislative framework and methodology for conducting the accreditation procedure for specialists. Primary, primary specialized and periodic accreditation is a complex organizational, methodological and engineering process that requires a competent approach in terms of planning, organization and implementation. The training of employees of accreditation centers according to the programs of training specialists in medical simulation training, as well as close interaction with the accreditation commission, certainly allows us to solve these problems and flawlessly ensure that all stages of accreditation of specialists are carried out.

Simulation Training and Coordination of the Results of Mastering Educational Programs in a Medical University

Trends to improve international quality standards for medical education dictate the need for the proper application of methods for coordinating the results of the development of educational programs.The introduction of methodological approaches for coordinating the results of mastering educational programs, as well as the founding of two medical simulation training centers and their functional integration into the educational system of the Yerevan State Medical University after M. Heratsi served as a serious help for improving the quality of educational services.

Modern technologies in teaching obstetrics. About students' attachment to simulation training

The authors of this article describe the experience of applying of simulation technologies in the curriculum in a medical university. The article discusses the methodology of practical training in obstetrics on the platform of a simulation center. The article also presents the results of the study that reveals students ' opinion about the role of the medical simulation training and its place in the educational process.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Simulation Training in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine

Simulation training in medicine is a powerful tool for acquiring knowledge and practical skills in an environment close to the real world. Decreasing training opportunities directly on the patient tend to introduce simulations close to the real hospital environment without compromising the patient’s safety.  The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation training in the Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC) at the Medical University of Plovdiv. A prospective observational descriptive study was performed at the MSTC at Plovdiv Medical University between September 2017 and March 2019. The study included 245 respondents who participated in one or more practical simulation trainings and were surveyed. The results of the study suggest that the knowledge, skills and attitudes of the trainees improve after training sessions. By increasing the number of visits, the self-esteem and confidence in performing the manipulation also increases, knowledge and technical performance significantly improve and mistakes are reduced. A statistically significant relationship has been demonstrated between the sequence of visits and acquired competencies (p=0.0001). There are no performance mistakes in those attending three or more times, but 16.2% of them still experience uncertainty while performing. Here, however, 83.8% performed the manipulation automatically and without mistakes.  Simulation training in medicine is effective and useful. It has its place in the curriculum for students and is a good tool for acquiring knowledge, skills and techniques in postgraduate education.
