On October 27, a Chinese delegation visited the OSMU Skills Center where they received a comprehensive overview of its structure and capabilities. They were shown modern equipment that provides a multi-level system for practical training for future medical professionals - from the initial mastery of basic procedures to practicing complex clinical scenarios in conditions as close to real-life as possible. The guests were shown how simulation technologies support the step-by-step development of professional competencies: from practicing individual skills on partial simulators to complex scenarios on fully functional robotic simulators. Objective assessment systems were also demonstrated, which record trainees' actions and provide detailed feedback on the technical and cognitive aspects of performed procedures.
From October 28 to 29, the visit continued at the Siberian State University of Physical Culture and Sport, at the Department of Theory and Methods of Adaptive Physical Education under the charge of Assoc. Prof. Irina G. TALAMOVA, PhD (in Biology), Head of the Department.
Classes on traditional Chinese medicine were held in a sunny wrestling hall. This format allowed it to bring in a wide audience, including students, sports medicine physicians, rehabilitation therapists, and athletes. Collaboration with the Department included a series of workshops on rehabilitation for osteoarthritis, postural disorders, and vertebrogenic pathologies. The program was divided into two parts: the first half was a lecture, while in the second, our colleagues demonstrated their skills and answered questions. The audience was particularly interested in the methods of acupressure and acupuncture for sports injuries. To master this skill, the participants worked step-by-step: first, they practiced the techniques on themselves, and then, under the careful guidance of mentors, on volunteers.
