Organization and practical seminars on histology and embryology in the remote format using the electronic educational environment of Military medical academy named after S.M. Kirov

Abstract

Practical experience of the organization and training at the Department of Histology with a course of embryology in the Military Medical Academy, St. Petersburg in a temporary remote format condition of training related to the pandemic due to a Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) is provided. Therefore, educational activity was corrected and methodical work directions and the possibility of program technological support are specified. Necessary educational and reference information was in due time made to the cathedral section of the electronic educational environment of the Academy and multimedia textbooks and manuals are updated and expanded. Separate methodological features of remote classes in histology and embryology are characterized. Of which, one is studying the digitized histologic medicines on the educational presentations without microscopes. For digitization, the sites of medicines, which most reflected the features of the fabric structure of the body, cytovery tectonics details, and histologic structure of morphofunctional units, were chosen. Knowledge control of students was carried out by tests, education, research, and visualized histologic tasks. The problematic issues connected with the remote form of education of future medical officers are revealed. Of which, one is limited opportunities of the electronic educational environment based on the volume of the provided computer information. The role and the place of remote technologies in the educational activity of military medical higher education institutions are defined. The attention for remote format training in medical school is an additional internal classroom occupation that is paid and cannot be fully replaced.
