KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Simulation is increasingly incorporated in medical education to learn and develop cognitive, psychomotor and behavioural skills at the individual level and in teamwork. An advanced medical simulator SimMan 3G and an e-learning platform were created to develop a new approach towards doctors’ training.
Aim:
A programme for the development and implementation of training methods for doctors and dental surgeons was created, as exemplified by the Simulation Centre of University Hospital in Olsztyn.
Material and methods:
The leading component of the project is the SimMan simulation device, along with specially designed rooms for simulation, debriefing and supervision of the training process. The most distinguishing feature of the entire training programme is a specially designed platform for education and training: www.symulatorymed.pl, consisting of knowledge bases, case reports, training scenarios, and tests ultimately compatible and cooperating with the aforementioned medical simulator.
Results and discussion:
Importance of medical simulation has been proven in terms of preservation of knowledge and skills for much longer than did previous training methods. The newly designed e-learning platform gives the opportunity to create specialized databases and check the results of on-simulator training sessions, which serve as ‘feedback’ to all the information provided on-line. This allows for multi-dimensional comparison of the progress and effectiveness of teaching during the successive testing sessions.
Conclusions:
The main goal of the newly created simulation infrastructure is to transfer better results of education from the conditions of the simulation room into reality, in order to improve the survival and effectiveness of treatment of patients.
