Epidemiology of New Coronavirus Infection in educational process of students of Pediatric Faculty of Astrakhan State Medical University

Abstract

Objective. To describe and characterize the curriculum regarding a new coronavirus infection in the educational process of students of the Pediatric Faculty of Astrakhan State Medical University.

Materials and methods. The working program "Epidemiology and Prevention of New Coronavirus Infection COVID-19" (hereinafter referred to as the Program) was developed by the staff of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology of Astrakhan State Medical University in 2021 and introduced into the curriculum of fourth-year students (8^th semester) in the specialty 31.05.02 "Pediatrics" as an optional discipline.

Results. Seventy-two academic hours are assigned for the study of the discipline, of which 50 % (36 hours) – for classroom work of the teacher with students including 33.3 % (12 hours) – for lectures, and the remaining 66.7 % – for practical classes. Independent work of students with the educational literature, educational portal of Astrakhan State Medical University and electronic resources takes the remaining 50 % (36 hours). At the last lesson, students take a test in the form of a final test (100 test tasks).

Conclusions. Thus, summing up all of the above, we can note that those students, who have attended a full course of lectures and practical classes on epidemiology and prevention of a new coronavirus infection, at the senior courses (5th and 6th courses) much better orientate themselves in epidemiology, clinic, diagnostics and prevention of not only infections with an aerogenic transmission mechanism, but also other infections with different mechanisms and transmission routes than students who have not studied this discipline.
