The use of mobile technologies for optimizing surgical training in Ukraine

Abstract

The article explores the potential of mobile technologies for optimizing surgical training in Ukraine. The growing relevance of this topic is driven by the need to enhance the quality of medical education in the context of digitalization and the integration of innovative methods into the learning process. It has been determined that mobile platforms open new opportunities for access to interactive simulations, virtual trainers, and anatomical applications, enabling the development of practical skills in a safe environment. Emphasis is placed on the needs of learners and educators, particularly for personalized learning trajectories, interactive resources, and feedback tools The purpose to assess the current state of mobile technologies in surgical education, compare Ukrainian practices with international experience, and develop recommendations for their effective implementation in the educational process. Methods of literature analysis, comparison, generalization, and data structuring were applied to form the conclusions. The results analyzed the main advantages of mobile technologies, including interactivity, personalization of learning, and flexibility in access to materials. However, limitations such as insufficient technical infrastructure, financial barriers, and low digital literacy levels among some participants in the educational process were also revealed. The scientific novelty of the study lies in adapting international experience to the context of Ukrainian medical education and identifying strategic directions for the development of mobile technologies. It has been demonstrated that the systematic integration of mobile platforms requires a comprehensive approach, including teacher training, the development of localized applications, process standardization, and international collaboration. The conclusions propose several recommendations, including the creation of national programs for funding and developing mobile technologies, implementing personalized learning trajectories for students, and expanding access to interactive resources. The prospects for further research include analyzing the long-term impact of mobile technologies on the professional training of surgeons, assessing the effectiveness of digital platforms, and developing new simulation environments that address contemporary challenges in medical education.
