Abstract
Introduction. Simulation training is a basic component of both medical school and postgraduate education, which requires modern education and healthcare systems to evaluate its effectiveness. The purpose of the study: evaluating the effectiveness of the simulation training allowed them to achieve long-term success and increase their prospects. Materials and methods. Search and analysis of world literature data on simulation training and criteria for the effectiveness of medical training was carried out. Results. Recently, there has been a rapid growth in simulation training programs, which requires the formation of criteria and indicators of their effectiveness. During our analysis of the available data, the following criteria for the effectiveness of the training were identified: frequency of attendance, compliance of the course program with its goals and objectives, simulation equipment, comfort level of participants and team work. Conclusion. Simulation training is a bridge between theoretical, fundamental knowledge and real clinical experience. The effectiveness of simulation training programs determines their rapid growth, which, in the face of an increasing number of proposals, obliges us to determine specific criteria and indicators of their effectiveness.
