Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, Moscow, RussiaCorrespondence: Rita Rafgatovna Kildiyarova Email [e-mail]: COVID-19 pandemic is a reason to revise traditional approaches to medical education. The disadvantage of online education is inability to train practical skills.Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of training students on an interactive pediatric simulator during distance learning.Patients and Methods: An online survey was conducted during quarantine COVID-19 to clear out the attitude to distance learning of third-year students of the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (n = 150). During training the level of students’ motivation to learn decreased, and what is most important their practical skills deteriorated. Eighty-four out of 150 students had the effectiveness of their training on the multimedia simulator “Filatov. Pediatrics” analyzed.Results: The simulator reproduces clinical tasks using three-dimensional models of children of different ages and genders and has access to personal computers of students. The cases include imitation of a dialogue with a virtual patient, methods of physical examination, the appointment of laboratory and instrumental methods of research, treatment. The use of a pediatric simulator showed greater efficiency in mastering practical skills compared to a group of students who did not use the simulator in class. Summing up the results of the intermediate objective structured clinical exam (OSCE) on physical examination on dummies of the Simulation and Accreditation Center showed better results in the main group (n = 48) compared to the control (n = 36). The students who additionally studied on the simulator completed the tasks on the checklist on a cardiology dummy by 98.3 ± 1.5%. In the control group, the percentage of completed tasks was 94.3 ± 1.3 (p = 0.05). The OSCE for examining the respiratory system on an auscultative dummy revealed 97.3 ± 1.5 and 93.1 ± 1.4%, respectively (p = 0.05).Conclusion: The interactive pediatric simulator is a tool for mastering practical skills of medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the use of which the OSCE results are significantly higher.Keywords: students, pediatrics, simulator, efficiency, distance learning
