Abstract
The work is devoted to the role of simulation education using manikins and their effectiveness in pediatrics. Five basic skills were selected, and the level of knowledge and skills of students “BEFORE” and “AFTER” completing the pediatrics course in the simulation center was also assessed. Answering the questions specified in the questionnaire, students assessed themselves as 0, 1, 2 points. As a result of the analysis, it was found that students’ mastery of skills is less developed than their theoretical knowledge, and after the course, their theoretical knowledge and, most importantly, practical skills improved. There is a statistically significant difference between the average arithmetic assessment “BEFORE” and “AFTER” completing the course.
