International conference “ROSOMED-2020. Simulation training in medicine: experience, development, innovation "and the IX Congress of the ROSOMED society were held
October 14-16, 2020 online. ROSOMED-2020 became the most prominent event in the history of medical simulation training in the Russian-speaking space. More than 90 speakers from 14 countries of Asia, Europe and America presented their reports and conducted master classes online. During the three conference days, 2,726 participants from 23 countries attended 34 research and training webinars, two plenary and 9 breakout sessions, a chat room and two workshops on pressing issues in simulation training, virtual reality and e-learning solutions in medical education, CME and accreditation in a pandemic  era,  the role of simulation training in the combat against COVID-19. Video materials of webinars and sections will be available throughout the year free of charge to registered participants.
The conference participants were greeted by the president of the ROSOMED society, Acad. Kubyshkin V.A., President of the Russian Society of Physicians, Academician Yanushevich O.O., heads of the European Society SESAM, European Network of Simulation Centers NASCE, Francophone Society of Simulation SoFraSim, representatives of simulation centers of Belarus, Kazakhstan, USA, Canada, Denmark and Turkey.
 
At ROSOMED-2020, for the first time in Russian history, virtual characters and robots took part in a medical simulation training conference. A unique moderator, virtual assistant Alina Dimedus, who actively participated in the work of the section and asked questions to the speakers, spoke in section "Virtual training technologies", and the communication robot VirtBot communicated with the participants in the chat room on communication skills and the section "Robots in medical education".
Within the framework of the conference, competitions were organized: "Domestic innovations in simulation training", "Competition for the best video about a simulation center" and the competition "Super TutorMEN", which was won by Strelnikova T.O. (Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov). The conference participants and exhibition visitors who answered the maximum number of quiz questions on the topic of medical simulation training received valuable prizes and gifts.
 
The unique virtual 3D exhibition was attended by 102 exhibitors - manufacturers and suppliers of simulation equipment from Russia, Kazakhstan, Germany, Japan, USA, Canada and Switzerland, simulation centers, participants who presented innovative products for the competition, as well as event organizers and media partners.
