THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING SIMULATION-BASED EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING OBSTETRICS

Abstract

This article examines the effectiveness of simulation-based educational technologies in teaching obstetrics. Simulation-based learning has become an essential component of modern medical education, allowing students to acquire clinical skills in a safe, controlled, and risk-free environment. The study analyzes the role of simulation technologies in improving practical competencies, clinical decision-making, and professional confidence of medical students. Special attention is paid to the use of mannequins, virtual simulators, and scenario-based training in obstetric education. The findings suggest that simulation-based instruction significantly enhances learning outcomes, bridges the gap between theory and practice, and contributes to the formation of highly qualified future healthcare professionals.
