Abstract

Modern medical education faces a problem of combining the latest technology with classic teaching methods. Simulation is a technique, which replaces or amplifies experiences in controlled conditions and therefore evokes or replicates substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive manner. The basic course of human anatomy in medical education could be recognised as the best example of implementing new educational techniques such as simulation, into the traditional medical curriculum. Modern medical education faces a problem of combining the latest technology, procedures and information with classic teaching methods. The goal is to prepare students to become physicians equipped with the latest conceptions in medicine. Another challenge is the linking of theoretical and practical knowledge without forgetting the socio-practical aspect of medical care. Training, from the very beginning, taking place in a reality-reflected environment (e.g. simulation-based training) seems to be a beneficial solution. Simulation is a technique, which replaces or amplifies doctor–patient experiences in controlled conditions and therefore evokes or replicates substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive manner [1]. Simulation techniques improve both cognitive and practical aspects of the education process in predictable and stress free conditions. The basic course of anatomy in medical education could be recognised as the best example of implementing new educational techniques such as simulation, into the traditional medical curriculum.
