Modern technologies in the educational process at the department of human anatomy with a course of operative surgery and topographical anatomy

Objectives. To study the possibilities of anatomical table “Pirogov II” for its use in practical classes of morphology departments of a medical university and to calculate the teaching time that will be allocated for the work of students of different faculties using traditional (cadaveric) material and with the use of a digital platform of a virtual person. Materials and methods. To achieve this aim, all teachers of the department of human anatomy with a course of operative surgery and topographic anatomy completed an introductory course on working with interactive complex “Pirogov”. The timing of educational time on the use of an interactive anatomical table and biological materials was carried out during practical classes on human anatomy when studying the unit “Splanchnology”. Results. The primary analysis of the data obtained showed that the average amount of study time allocated to explain a new topic in the unit “Splanchnology” in practical classes for working on a «Pirogov table» is 25 ± 3 minutes and when using biological material – 20 ± 2 minutes for students of the Faculty of Medicine (practical classes duration is 4 academic hours). In groups of students of the Medical diagnostic Faculty and the Medical preventive Faculty, the time intervals for similar parts of the practical class were 30 ± 3 minutes and 20 ± 2 minutes, respectively (practical classes duration is 4 academic hours). For students of the Faculty of Foreign students these time intervals were equal to 35 ± 5 minutes and 30 ± 5 minutes (practical classes duration is 4.5 academic hours). Conclusions. The duration of practical classes on human anatomy within the framework of class time allows you to synchronize the classical method (on corpses and natural organs) of studying the subject with the interactive method (on a virtual body).
