Today, the benefits of using simulation technologies in medical education have been proven by numerous studies and there is no doubt about their efficiency while ensuring the quality of training of healthcare professionals. Before a future healthcare specialist will proceed to real clinical practice, he/she should repeatedly practice skills on simulators, as airplane pilots train in simulated conditions. Thus, for more than 15 years in Kazakhstan's model of medical education, a training with the use of simulation technologies has taken a leading place.  For the purpose of continuous self-improvement of skills in teaching and learning in simulated conditions, training was organized for heads of educational and clinical centers.

Simulation sessions were held with briefing, followed by open discussions, exchange of experience between participants. Heads of simulation centers of Karaganda Medical University, Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University, Astana Medical University, Director of Medical Faculty of Manash Kozybayev North Kazakhstan University, as well as representatives of GEOTAR Med (Russia) participated in this training.
