Abstract

The article presents the results of a study examining the effectiveness of an innovative competency assessment system for medical students in simulation-based learning environments. The developed testing system has been integrated into the educational process and enables comprehensive evaluation of both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Analysis of student survey data and test results demonstrates improved objectivity of assessment and enhanced quality of future physicians' training. The proposed approach contributes to the development of clinical thinking and increases student motivation for learning.

Keywords

simulation-based learning, competency-based approach, medical education, testing system, skills assessment, objective structured clinical examination, digitalization of education.
