Abstract

Recent trends in intense evolution of information technologies and improving of medical education increases the availability of advanced training for doctors. These changes promote development of health care and society. The purpose of educational process modification is to create an environment for students to apply modern technologies, which allows students to remain interested in the disciplines being studied. Technological advancement results in creating of multimedia technologies that are currently being used to improve learning outcomes. The availability of multimedia technologies, digital content, and software simplify educational materials and make it more efficient for the learning process, and therefore empowers students.
The article provides an overview on currently used educational programs for medical residents, as well as an analysis of the sociological and psychological characteristics of modern students in the context of rapidly developing digital technologies. The article describes the current issues of the educational process implementation, highlights the complexity of the work of medical organizations and universities. The paper discusses the existing methods of modernizing education that meet modern trends in the development of medicine. The study also offers some important insights into using the innovative technologies by foreign colleagues. This research proposes a new methodology of integrating virtual reality into dermatovenereologists and cosmetologists training programs for optimizitation the educational process, standardization students and residents knowledge control, and improvement the practical training of healthcare personnel.
