Practice-oriented training is implemented in practical classes, training and production practices. Practical classes are the first stage where students have professional and general competencies, face-to-face impact on each student, forms of education based on medical ethics and deontology are developed.
An important place in practical classes is occupied by training in practical manipulations on modern phantoms and simulators. Multiple repetition of practical manipulation according to the algorithm contributes to its mastery to automatism. The introduction of simulation training in professional activities helps to develop clinical and practical experience without risk to the patient. The next stage of practice-oriented training for future midwives is the training practice, which is carried out after the study of interdisciplinary courses that are part of professional modules.
It is aimed at acquiring initial practical experience and takes place in preclinical offices, as well as in clinical conditions in obstetric institutions, where the teacher calls students with the organization of the work of structural units of the obstetric hospital, antenatal clinic, students acquire skills in communicating with patients and performing the studied practical skills in examining pregnant women, women in labor, childbirth and gynecological patients. Such classes contribute to the development of professional competencies and responsibility for the result of their activities.
After studying each professional module, students undergo practical training, which is aimed at strengthening, deepening and systematizing the knowledge and skills acquired by students in the process of theoretical and practical training. Production practice is carried out at the bases of obstetric hospitals in the city. In the process of practicing the vocational module, students master the main types of professional activities of a midwife/obstetrician, improve the ethical and deontological aspects of communication with patients and medical personnel.
The final stage of practical training is pre-graduation practice. During 4 weeks at the workplace in the obstetric hospital and antenatal clinic, students improve their knowledge, gain experience of independent work of the future midwife.
Thus, a practice-oriented approach in the training of secondary medical professionals creates the conditions for the training of a competent medical specialist.
