| Summary: | Education modernization in the healthcare of Ukraine has formed new approaches to the training of
the young professionals. The article describes the methods of the active teaching in the medical university clinical
departments. Traditional lecturing used in teaching has the lowest retention rate; the use of simulation technique
education as part of an instruction method may enhance retention and reinforce learning by creating a dynamic
educational environment. The aim of the study was to analyze, generalize existing points of view in the education system, which affect
the issue of necessity, effectiveness and features of the simulation programs use for medical students in the example of «Standardized patient» methodic.
Object and methods. It were held an overview of modern literature on the implementation of simulation
method in way of the «Standardized patient» methodic in medical education. Seven databases were used in
the search: ERIC, Education Research Complete, Medline, Medline Complete, Academic Search Complete, The
Cochrane Library and PubMed in period of 2007-2018. Using key words: standardized patient, students, active
teaching method, professional training, medicine.
Results and discussion. Students of medical universities often feel lack the experience of interacting with
real patients. By mastering realistic scenarios with a standardized patient (SP), they accumulate experience, and
teachers gain an opportunity to evaluate how students apply new knowledge in practice. Interaction with SP
develops communication and professional skills, enabling students to get their first clinical experience. Using SP,
students learn to collect anamnesis from a patient, conduct a physical examination on structured and effective
principles, learn to ask questions related to medical, surgical and social anamnesis, make objective examination,
estimate additional methods of investigation. SPs also help students of the senior courses to ensure integration of
curriculum content in practical activity. There is a possibility apply their theoretical knowledge in practice, using
them as tools in achieving a specific goal helping a sick person. This method of simulation training is developed
to involve university staff as «standardized patients» for modeling clinical situations of differentiation and assistance in various diseases. The approximate structure and rules for writing a clinical scenario for SP are proposed.
Conclusion. SP methodic is one of the effective ways to learn how to manage errors and how to work in accordance with modern algorithms. The advantage of this technique is that the student can really assess the level
of his training, identify gaps in knowledge and skills, and make timely attempts to eliminate them. The inclusion
of SP methodic in an educational program is a very effective teaching method. |
