On June 8, an international symposium on the topic “Medical education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic” was held at the Kharkiv National Medical University.
The event chaired by the rector of KNMU Kapustnik Valery Andreevich and the vice-rector for scientific work Myasoedov Valery Vasilyevich was held in a mixed format. The symposium was attended by representatives of Germany, Bulgaria, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan. Within the framework of cooperation between KNURE and medical institutions, the head of the BMI department Oleg Avrunin made a presentation “Experience in the creation and use of 3D content and video with the effect of presence in distance learning”.
The use of panoramic video and immersive video technologies for the tasks of interactive teaching in medicine was proposed. This is especially true, given that it is in medicine that unique or valuable equipment is often used, access to which is limited, as well as new methods and approaches, for example, in surgical operations, which are not easy to demonstrate to acquire practical skills.
It is shown that stereoscopic perception of space during training provides a more realistic and, as a result, more effective experience, since various mechanisms of vision are involved to assess the formed picture.
The report also noted that the use of 3D video content allows, in addition to the standard advantages: flexibility of the training schedule and modularity, asynchrony, mass scale and profitability through the use of stereo vision mechanisms, to provide a more realistic perception and, as a result, effective assimilation of the material and gaining experience with the effect of being in the classroom, or in the laboratory.
Sharing experiences and interacting with national and foreign healthcare institutions contribute to achieving sustainable development goals, improving health and well-being.
