A two-day project-analytical session was held at Novosibirsk State University Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies NSU. It was attended by the heads of the IMMT NSU, including curators of educational programs, as well as representatives of other leading medical universities of our country – Sechenov University and the Siberian State Medical University (SSMU). The goal of the event was to determine the main directions of the transformation of medical education at NSU taking into account modern trends.
— We discussed how the structure of medical education should be changed so that it corresponds to strategic changes in higher education as a whole. First of all, this is a trend towards personalization, when each student has their own development trajectory; the second important point is to provide the maximum possible number of practical skills that are in demand in practical activities and the pharmaceutical industry, so that students already during their studies know how to work in the future. For example, they have skills in working with modern systems that are used in healthcare, such as electronic document management, technologies based on artificial intelligence. Another point: curricula should be flexible, constantly updated, updated and developed, this will allow students to understand modern methods of treatment, therapy, diagnostics. At the same time, it is important to find a balance between classical education, fundamental knowledge and special subjects that are aimed specifically at training doctors. After all, the specificity of the university is that we train not just doctors, but medical researchers, said Mikhail Khvostov, acting dean of the faculty of medical cybernetics and pharmacy at the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU.
The session included a plenary part, when nine experts made presentations. First, the university team presented key information about the current status of medical education at NSU. Yulia Samoylova, professor, director of the IMMT NSU, told about the history of the emergence of medical care at the university, gave an overview of what is happening now, focused on what scientific, technological and educational projects the Institute is engaged in and what are the prospects for the future. Then the heads of the areas of “Medical Care”, “Medical Cybernetics” and “Psychology” spoke about their programs. The speech of Dmitry Kudlai, director of innovative development programs at NSU, was devoted to the use of artificial intelligence in education in general and in industrial pharmacy in particular. Irina Sergeeva, director of the Center for Postgraduate Medical Education at NSU, spoke about the features of residency programs.
The presentations by external experts – Victoria Kovalevskaya, a representative of Sechenov University, and Inessa Yakimovich, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Siberian State Medical University – were devoted to new models of medical education. Then there was work in small groups, when the participants had to define the key elements of the future model of medical education at NSU.
Among the main areas for development identified as a result of the session are the introduction of individual trajectories in medical education; training students and teachers to use modern information systems, artificial intelligence, both in education and in medicine.
— The response to modern trends in the industry was the launch of a new educational program at our Institute — medical cybernetics. This is a science that is developing at the intersection of biology, medicine and information technology. We are currently in the midst of an admissions campaign; and we see that the direction is in demand, there is great interest in it. Thus, we made the right choice by introducing a new direction, and this is important, since cybernetics should contribute to the introduction of digitalization of healthcare and help doctors make better diagnoses and treat people more effectively, which is one of the priorities in the modern world, — emphasized Yulia Samoylova, Director of the IMMT NSU.
The project-analytical session held at NSU is an introductory one and opens a series of events that will be aimed at modernizing medical education and developing a unified strategy for its development in the near future, including taking into account the infrastructure of the new campus and involving the entire university staff in the work.
