On May 15–16, 2026, Professors of The Oncology Department Bohdan Sorokin and Stanislav Myasoedov have had participated in the annual International “Simulation Technologies in Health Care Forum 2026.”
The Forum was held at the Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine (Kyiv) and was organized by the Ukrainian Association of Simulation Medicine (UASHC) in partnership with: the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, Shupyk National University of Health of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Federation of Professional Medical Associations.
In their opening remarks, distinguished officials from the Ministry, members of parliament, and the rector of the Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine emphasized the importance of the standardized and effective implementation of simulation medicine technologies by teams at educational and research institutions and public healthcare facilities, under the methodological guidance of the SSH and SESAM centers. The Forum participants showed great interest in the presentations by leading global experts in simulation medicine, who shared their extensive experience in improving the work of educational institutions and clinical practice through the use of the wide range of opportunities offered by simulation methods in higher education, major clinical centers, and related organizations. Discussions at the Forum revealed an even broader range of promising applications of simulation medicine that optimize and accelerate routine processes, reduce costs, and bring intellectually enriched products closer to consumers of educational and medical services. The role of universities in the controlled and rational use of mathematical and other specialized simulation technologies in medicine and medical education was emphasized as well.
The Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine has made significant strides in advancing simulation-based medicine in medical education and practice, as demonstrated in the presentations by speakers at the Forum’s sessions, including the director of the Andriy Tkachenko Center for Simulation Medicine. Particular attention was given to the results of the University’s promising international collaboration on this issue in recent years and the outcomes of the successful implementation of new technologies incorporating artificial intelligence.
At the University’s Department of Oncology, under the leadership of Department Chair Professor Prokop Gordiychuk and with the support of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Professor Olga Protsyuk, a simulation-based approach was employed to improve the management of the Department’s methodological work, utilizing an intuitive digital information resource. The development is successfully used by the departments of the Faculty and the University, facilitating the acquisition of modern, urgently needed competencies and skills by staff members.
