Abstract

The digital transformation of higher medical education causes the need to apply the basic principles of digital pedagogy and methods and means of digital didactics. One of the most important steps of such a transformation is to provide educational programs and disciplines implemented within their framework with a sufficient number of electronic and multimedia textbooks, including the most complex sections. One of such sections of propaedeutics of internal diseases is auscultation of the heart and blood vessels. Given the fact that this section has got an extensive theoretical base, this may cause difficulties in mastering this topic with a traditional, “analog” approach to the educational process. In addition, in order to successfully master the skill of auscultation, students need to perform this method in patients with various cardiovascular diseases, which is not always achievable in real educational practice. Both theoretical and practical aspects of this patient examination method can be implemented using multimedia, electronic manuals and simulators.

Keywords: education; multimedia manual; heart auscultation; vessels auscultation; propaedeutics of internal diseases
