Abstract

With the widespread adoption of modern technology, particularly computer simulations, medicine is also actively using technologies that allow students to master essential skills quickly and easily. Simulating complications that do not occur every day and representing rare events is a crucial component for improvement of knowledge of medical students. To address these critical issues for the development of medical education, we conducted an analysis and comparison between the groups of students to understand whether new technology improves necessary skills.
