Uzbekistan is fast emerging as a hub for medical education in the world. Its institutions of learning, especially Samarkand State Medical University (SSMU) are leveraging technology for the next level of medical education. Established in 1930, SSMU has been at the forefront of medical education in Uzbekistan. It played a crucial role in training medical personnel during the Second World War.
The latest technology employed by SSMU
1. Virtual Reality and Simulation-Based Learning
Medical education involves simplifying and understanding the complex nervous system, vital organs, and musculoskeletal structure. Virtual Reality (VR) makes it easy for students to understand the human body through 3D imaging. Students get a clear idea of nerves, veins, arteries, and the brain with 3D images. Similarly, simulation-based learning helps develop emergency response skills in a risk-free and controlled environment.
2. Digital Libraries and E-Resources
SSMU introduced digital libraries and e-resources to its students. It is a big and bold step towards the globalization of education. SSMU students now have access to a wide range of books and medical journals available on the web. For example, students can access medical research through their e-libraries. Since digital libraries are AI-powered, students can easily process useful information.
3. Telemedicine Training and Digital Patient Records
Telemedicine and digital records are the future of medicine. In the future, patients won’t need to visit hospitals except for emergency conditions. Doctors will prescribe medicines according to patients’ digital records. Every patient will have a digital record. SSMU has telemedicine and digital record training in its course. Students from SSMU who are doing MBBS in Uzbekistan are trained in telemedicine.
4. Incorporating AI and ML in Medical Education
SSMU students are provided with AI tools to analyze large databases. AI and ML training is necessary to process digital records of patients and understand their conditions. SSMU trains its students to use advanced diagnostic tools and treatments. AI technology is useful in radiology and pathology where a large amount of data is stored for future needs. AI tools help explore the data and find crucial information.
5. Online Learning Platforms and Collaborative Tools
Samarkand State Medical University employs online learning platforms and collaborative tools. Online platforms allow distance learning and collaborative tools allow interaction with teachers and peers. For example, tools like shared documents, discussion forums, and teams allow students to stay connected. They can share ideas, give suggestions, and stay updated on the latest medical research and technologies.
