Title
Clinical teaching at distance: an educational approach of Kazan State Medical University
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic medical schools worldwide have faced a challenge of delivering clinical training remotely. Fast generation of online teaching and learning recourses is a positive aspect of the current situation. However, the lack of data on the effectiveness of such methods in medical students' training creates the agony of choosing for the educators.
Summary of the Innovation
On March, 2020 due to the pandemic Kazan State Medical University (KSMU) has transferred to the distance learning. Along with the common methods of remote training, such as video conferences with faculty members, assignments and MCQs at KSMU educational portal, readings, self-studies and watching recorded lectures, as a part of their curriculum certain groups of students undergoing internal medicine and general surgery rotations were introduced to a platform called CyberPatientTM (CP), which is a University of British Columbia innovative online simulation solution designed for acquisition of applied medical knowledge and experience via virtual environment. Other clinical discipline learners were able to voluntarily access the platform. By the end of the term both groups were surveyed on a subject of satisfaction with the provided online learning opportunities.
Conclusion
According to the results of the survey, CP was rated as intuitive and easy to operate platform. The learners were satisfied with the variety of provided clinical cases. CP was identified as valuable, effective and highly impactful both in terms of the knowledge and experience. So that, the CyberPatientTM platform can be recommended as an effective resource for clinical training.
