Information technologies, mechatronics and robotics as a basis of an interdisciplinary approach to engineering and medical education

Вестник ЮУрГУ. Серия «Образование. Педагогические науки». 2015. Т. 7, No 4. С. 101–106 Introduction An integral part of any health care professional is the use of modern high-tech diagnostic and treatment centers in solving professional problems. The thousand-year history of the medicine formation as a science and health care as a branch of state activity is the cause of a particular relationship to the achievements in the field of scientific and technical progress. On the one hand, we see the need as the introduction of advanced information technology advances in medicine soon as possible on the other hand there is conservatism and repeated confirmation of the reliability of the results of new methods, tools and approaches. In our country in recent years it has been conducted consistent policy aimed at creating preconditions for effective and high-quality information and technical support of the strategic and operational objectives of social and economic development of the Russian Federation, and ultimately the formation and development of the information society. Dynamic social development suggests that the professional activity of the person should not been predetermined for the entire period of his career and provides the need for continuing education, that is, the process of continuous improvement of its competence. Computer science is not a specialized subject for medical students, so, unlike professional courses, it is not associated with the necessity of deep study. The need for knowledge of information technology comes later, when the doctor is faced with practical problems that must be solved independently. The authors are directly involved in the practical development of high technology [5, 7, 8], as well as in teaching activities aimed at the training of engineers and health professionals to work with modern hardware and software systems more than ten years. Over the years generations of computer equipment, technology and medical DOI: 10.14529/ped150414
