Mastering professional competencies with use of simulation-based training by 6th year medical students (rationale, class conducting methodology, analysis)
The ultimate goal of current system of higher medical education in Ukraine is to develop the proper professional competencies in future doctors. However, the basic qualification deficit and insufficient level of practical skills formation among medical students and novice doctors are constant problems [1-3], and searching for ways of their solution remains relevant. One of them could be introducing a simulation-based training in teaching process, because it was proved that adding a simulation component to learning promotes longer memorization and better skill performance [1, 4]. In addition, its use provides a "relaxed", safe pedagogical environment that promotes the experience gain, and creates an appropriate psychological atmosphere for
correcting mistakes, which ultimately leads to improved learning quality [5]
