Abstract:
The main goal of higher educational medical institutions is to achieve compliance with accreditation requirements and international standards in medical education, as well as to confirm the quality practices of their graduates. According to the ASPIREto-Excellence Initiative, which is an International Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE), comprised of representatives from more than 90 countries on 5 continents, and which promotes international excellence in undergraduate medical education, postgraduate and continuing education – it is possible to evaluate education
itself, while most universities pay attention only to the results of scientific research. Among the main “areas of excellence”, AMEE emphasizes the importance of obtaining practical skills through simulation, which includes technologies and educational environments that involve the use of standardized patients, specialized simulators, and mannequins.
