THE EXPERIENCE OF INTRODUCING OF INTEGRATED EDUCATIONPROGRAM AND ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENCY OF DISTANT FORMOF EDUCATION ON THE FIRST COURSE

Abstract

Introduction. Medical education in modern conditions is undergoing reform, moving away from the traditional
organization of the educational process. This is displayed in an interdisciplinary orientation by combining the basic and clinical sciences [1]. In recent years, medical education has shifted from traditional forms of training to methods using
distance learning [2]. A new coronavirus pandemic (SAR-CoV2) has disrupted medical education worldwide [3]. Medical
schools have adapted to online learning by transforming teaching and assessment methods [4,5,6]. We present the
experience of introducing an integrated educational program at the ICC NAO and the transition to a distant learning format
due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Aim of research: Describe the model of an integrated educational program at the ICC NAO with the transition to online
education due to the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, analyze the effectiveness of distance education through an
online survey of students and teachers.
Material and methods: A retrospective analysis of the integrated first-year educational program was carried out, as well
as an online survey of 275 students of the faculty "General Medicine" and 120 teachers. The questionnaire for students
contained questions about the quality of distance learning: organization, content, provision of teaching and video materials,
assessment of the educational process, comparison with classroom studies and suggestions. The questionnaire for teachers
included questions about the positive and negative aspects of distance learning.
Results: The analysis of the results of the survey showed that 84% of the students are completely satisfied with the
quality of the organization of distance learning, 12% partially, 4% are not satisfied.
Of the 120 first-year teachers, 55% maintained their working pace at the same level; 22.5% - the quality of work after the
transition to distance education has become worse; 15% find it difficult to answer; 7.5% of employees working remotely
believe that working remotely is better than at the workplace.
Conclusion. The introduction of an integrated educational program will improve the quality of training for graduates of
Semey Medical University, and the feedback results on distance learning will improve the online teaching methodology in the
future.
