Abstract. According to UNESCO statistics, more than 1.5 billion children and youth in 188 countries around the globe have to stay home due to the closure of schools and higher education institutions following the Coronavirus outbreak. The aim of our work was to study the features of teaching clinical disciplines to medical students during distance learning and to develop an algorithm to improve practical skills and abilities.
The study included 260 fourth-year medical students. Surveys were conducted anonymously in a randomized manner to increase the reliability of the results, using Google Forms (software for administering the survey, which is part of the free web package Google Docs Editors, offered by Google). The whole list of questions was compiled into one questionnaire, to each of which the student had to give a positive or negative answer.
After analyzing the answers to the questions about the resources that contribute to better learning of practical skills during distance learning, the majority of 204 (78.5%) respondents chose simulation technologies, 38 students (14.6%) preferred video interviews followed by discussion and only 18 people (6.9%) – solving clinical tasks and tests.
According to the results of the research, the highest indicators of mastering practical skills and abilities were students who worked them in the educational and training center of simulation medicine and innovative technologies.
