Methodology and Technology of Continuous Professional Education

OF CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Effective integration of information technologies into the higher education system is aimed at improving the quality of education, developing students ' creative abilities, and striving for continuous acquisition of new knowledge. The work of students with situational tasks contributes to the formation of analytical thinking, stimulates the deepening and expansion of knowledge not only in a certain subject area, but also in the corresponding related areas. The article describes the experience of using situational tasks to control theoretical and practice-oriented knowledge of students on a number of topics in the section "Statistical analysis of biomedical research" as part of the discipline Medical informatics. The prospects of implementing situational tasks in an interactive form using the capabilities of modern information and communication technologies are substantiated.

The Continuing Medical Education (CME) is one of the forms of post-diploma medical specialists’ education, is gradually becoming a standard in Russia. The article focuses on CME practices in various countries, as much as ways of its development or alternatives. The article observes the established CME systems and emphases the complex Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as far as successful examples of CME absence. Some changes in traditional CME/CPD formats are described. The most actual problems of the nowadays CME are pointed out. The examples of Japan, Iran, and Germany are illustrating how the effectiveness issue has stated and solved. The main directions of CME development are as following: competency-based approach, feedback wide usage, non-standard learning formats, unified system of accreditation.

To date, only a few researchers work on the issue of evaluating the quality of online courses. This problem is highly relevant, but not sufficiently developed. And its solution, in our opinion, is directly related to the assessment of the informativeness of online courses. The purpose of the study is to develop a set of principles for evaluating the informativeness of a special type of online courses, the interactive educational modules for continuing education of healthcare professionals. These modules are accessed through an online learning platform, the portal for continuing medical and pharmaceutical education.

Institutional factors (organizations, authors, countries, journals) of the development of a research direction on the problems of continuous medical education are analyzed on the material of the array of publications in leading world medical scientific journals indexed by the Web of Science information platform on the topic of continuous education over the past 45 years. A comparative scientometric characteristic of the institutional factors in the development of the direction is given. The bibliometric mapping method identifies leaders on these factors which determine the main trends in research on continuous medical education. Conclusions about the locations of the main institutional factors that shape the direction of research are made. Possible areas for continuing bibliometric research in continuous medical education are identified.

The use of computer-based virtual reality (VR) technologies in the educational process is continuously increasing for a variety of professional activities. Medical education is one of the examples, where such efforts are particularly visible. Today’s VR products provide the maximum immersion into a virtual environment and active interaction with their components. These VR products are becoming increasingly more popular, even in comparison with pseudo-3D simulators. VR facilitates the development of the abilities for precision work as much as mechanical skills. In emergency medical care, it is particularly important to practice the skills requiring specialized knowledge and abilities. In this work, we discuss VR-simulators built to practice the algorithm of emergency medical assistance in a maximally realistic environment.
