Abstract
Surgery, as a medical specialty, is one of the most psychologically difficult professions. Teaching surgery as a subject in higher medical institutions is of key importance in educating certain qualities in a future surgeon. Therefore, the methodology for teaching surgery in higher medical education institutions has undergone significant changes in the last decade due to both the revolutionary progress in higher education and the development of healthcare. During training, it is necessary to pay attention to such components as surgical technical skills (including surgical practical skills, simulations, surgical techniques, etc.) and non-technical skills (cognitive, neuropsychological, socialization, etc.). This article presents a successful experience in teaching students theoretical and practical skills in the scientific-experimental group of the Department of Operative Surgery and Topographic Anatomy of YSMU, involving them in educational and educational-experimental work. Teaching practical skills of future surgeons at the department is carried out both in the classroom and in additional extra-curricular classes within the framework of the scientific group, based on the “student-to-student” teaching method. For acquiring more theoretical knowledge, scientific reports are presented both in the classroom and in extracurricular scientific groups. Surveys conducted among students participating in scientific group work showed high efficiency of scientific group work. About 82.5% of the respondents said that participation in a scientific group contributed to their decision to choose surgery as a specialty, and also contributed to the development of clinical thinking of students, gave them theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of surgery, motivation for learning, and most importantly, it created a surgical environment, where students share experience and knowledge with each other and make new friends in an atmosphere of healthy competition.
