PECULIARITIES OF DISTANCE TRAINING OF INTERN DOCTORS IN THE SPECIALITY "EMERGENCY MEDICINE"

Abstract

Introduction. In recent years, we have observed tremendous transformations in the pedagogical process due to the introduction of modern information technologies. Medical education requires high-quality, up-to-date world-class training and continuing professional development. The purpose of this work is to analyze the experience of using distance learning forms for intern doctors in the specialty "Emergency Medicine". Results and discussion. The Department of Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine has created an information and educational domain providing the storage, updating and exchange of various educational information that include the website of our department website and the ZOOM platform. The main types of training are: lectures, seminars, practical classes, consultations and independent work. Independent work is provided by the using educational materials that interns receive via the Internet. Interactive communication is also done via e-mail, the Viber platform. The elaborated types of control enable to assess the initial and intermediate levels of knowledge gained through the learning process. Having evaluated the results of distance learning in interns, we can conclude the interns do demonstrate satisfactory level of theoretical knowledge, but their level of practical skills have been assessed as unsatisfactory. This encourages searching for new forms of distance learning. Thus, distance learning of interns in the specialty "Emergency Medicine" is an effective alternative form of theoretical knowledge acquisition. Improving the methods of conducting online classes helps to improve the assimilation of theoretical material. 3. However, since the doctors in the field of «Emergency Medicine» are clinicians, distance education can not be considered a priority, but only as one of the elements of training.
