The quality of medical specialists’ training is closely related to the effectiveness of practice-oriented training and an objective assessment of clinical skills. Sanitary and epidemiological service specialists are often involved in emergency situations such as epidemics, man-made disasters or natural disasters. On the ground, they can be the first to encounter victims, and their ability to provide first aid can save lives before emergency services arrive. In this regard, the discipline “Emergency care” was introduced into the educational program of “Medical and preventive medicine” for students of the 2 year.

Simulation technologies are becoming an integral part of medical education. In the context of rapid development of medicine and requirements for a high level of professional education, traditional teaching methods do not always provide the necessary practical training. Simulation provides a unique opportunity for safe and effective training, improving the quality of medical education and minimizing risks for patients. This article discusses the effectiveness of using simulation technologies in the process of training future doctors, analyzes the results of using one of the methods of simulation technologies “Standardized patient” in the educational process of the 6th year of the Fergana Medical Institute of Public Health. Thanks to the introduction of simulation technologies in the educational process, student performance has increased several times compared to traditional teaching methods.

The article presents the results of the survey of the 2nd year students of the specialty “Medicine” about the effectiveness of simulation education application in Gomel State Medical University. The advantages of simulation education in studying the discipline “Medical care and manipulation technique” are determined. The results of the study demonstrate the importance of forming professional competencies in a safe and realistic environment. Simulation education contributes to the development of clinical thinking and effective practicing of teamwork algorithms.

The article considers the issue of evaluating the effectiveness of training on the Vimedix ultrasound simulator by medical specialists in order to acquire practical experience of an appropriate level before interacting with a patient. The results of the training of 54 medical specialists who were trained in the cycle of professional retraining and did not possess the practical skills of an ultrasound diagnostics specialist are analyzed. After completing the practical lesson, the student demonstrated practical skills during the examination of the patient under the guidance of a teacher, then took a simulation training course and repeatedly demonstrated practical skills. The final control is carried out by the teacher at the end of two months of classroom training. An analysis of the assessment of practical skills acquisition upon completion of training in a virtual simulator showed a significant improvement in the acquisition of practical skills and their demonstration.
