Abstract

Covid-19 has been declared as a pandemic disease by the WHO on March 11th, 2020. The disease started in Wuhan province in China in late December 2019. Since that time, the global incidence of COVID-19 disease has increased dramatically. Preparation of students at the Department of Surgery. Algorithm for conducting distance education. Distance learning of students in conditions quarantine Covid-19. The question of the use of this form of education in medical educational institutions remains controversial. On the one hand, the advantages of distance education are the possibility of teaching a large number of students at once, facilitating the educational process, in the case of teaching people with disabilities, adaptability - learning using modern software and hardware makes e-education more effective, also, usually, distance learning is cheaper than regular education. first of all, by reducing the cost of moving, living in another city, reducing the cost of organizing the courses themselves. Opponents of the use of distance education in medicine believe that mastering practical skills, which are the main component in training future medical workers, is impossible in this way. However, in our opinion, the use of this form of education in medical schools is not only possible, but necessary. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of the student (n = 538; 82.5%) have participated in distance learning in their medical schools. Further analysis of the nonparticipating students showed that 6th-year students were the least to be involved in distance learning as the majority of them have completed their academic courses before the COVID-19 curfew. With advances in technologies and social media, distance learning is a new and rapidly growing approach for undergraduate, postgraduate, and health care providers. Regardless of reported benefits, medical students preferred the blended approach in teaching as distance learning represented a major challenge to acquire adequate clinical medical skills. Naturally, training a doctor in practical skills requires traditional face-to-face contact, but all theoretical training and exercise in decision-making can take place remotely.
