To study subjective assessments and satisfaction with the organization of practical training during training using simulation educational technologies, an anonymous online survey (22 questions) was conducted among residents and graduates of the 2022-2025 clinical residency program. A total of 291 responses were received. The results of the study revealed a lack of a systematic approach to teaching practical skills and limited training in procedures for responding to critical situations. A significant proportion of respondents indicated incomplete mastery of manipulations during training, a lack of theoretical and practical training in residency, and, accordingly, doubts about their readiness to act in critical situations. Thus, according to the survey, practical training in anesthesiology and critical care residency does not fully ensure confident mastery of practical skills in performing procedures and prepare graduates using simulation technologies for independent work in various critical situations.

This article presents the results of a study on the use of publicly available artificial intelligence in the educational process of a higher medical school. The pilot project, "An Intelligent System for Teaching Basic Clinical Examination Skills," was implemented with a grant from the Russian Society for Simulation Education in Medicine in 2025.

The study included 58 third-year students majoring in General Medicine at Surgut State University. Two comparison groups were randomly assigned: a study group, which tested the technology using artificial intelligence (n=29), and a control group, which studied using a traditional method without the use of artificial intelligence (n=29).

The project resulted in the development of a methodology for problem-based, competency-based, self-controlled teaching of basic clinical examination skills using simulators, virtual patients, and artificial intelligence. No negative results were obtained during the pilot study of artificial intelligence in the educational process of a higher medical school. The combination of simulators, virtual patients, and artificial intelligence has proven most effective in developing and practicing doctor-patient communication skills in a simulated environment.

This article examines the current and potential applications of virtual reality technologies for individuals with physical disabilities resulting from injuries or diseases. The study explores the Russian market of virtual tools in medicine and identifies the challenges faced by medical centers in Russia when employing immersive technologies for rehabilitation and therapeutic purposes. The paper also highlights the shortcomings of existing technologies in improving satisfaction and quality of life for end users with disabilities.

The article describes the possibilities of using the interactive complex "Pirogov" in conducting the regional subject Olympiad in human anatomy and physiology for the specialties 34.02.01 "Nursing" and 31.02.01 "Medical Care". The article reveals the effectiveness of using interactive simulators in teaching and developing professional skills among students. According to the current federal state educational standard for the training module, students must: know human anatomy and physiology and be able to use their knowledge of anatomy and physiology to examine patients and make preliminary diagnoses. The results obtained will make it possible to adjust educational activities.

New legislative requirements, restrictions on remote formats, and the growing expectations of employers and patients require nursing staff to adapt their practices. However, there are challenges in organizing professional development, indirect consequences of outdated approaches, and the benefits of modern training models are not immediately apparent. This article proposes scientifically grounded pedagogical technologies to overcome these barriers. Particular attention is paid to shared responsibility, support, and the motivation of colleagues. The article is addressed to practicing nurses and nursing managers. It contains practical recommendations for implementing new training methods without interrupting work.
