As part of our MTA Roadshow: On the Road with Teachers, we visited the Secondary Medical School in Opava on February 5, 2025, where we engaged in discussions with teachers and school representatives about opportunities for innovating healthcare education.
How to Modernize Healthcare Education?
One of the key topics of the meeting was the integration of modern technologies into healthcare education. Educators and our team explored the potential of health information systems, which would help students gain a better understanding of the organization and administration of healthcare services.
Another major discussion point was the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in education. VR technology has the potential to significantly enhance interactivity in learning, allowing students to simulate various healthcare scenarios and prepare for real-world situations they may encounter in practice. Such tools could improve practical training and make complex medical procedures more accessible through realistic simulations.
A Shared Path Toward Modern Education
The meeting in Opava reaffirmed the necessity of modernizing vocational education in the healthcare field. Teachers expressed great interest in innovative approaches and were open to exploring new ways to enhance the learning experience. As part of the MTA Roadshow, we will continue to map out schools’ needs, engage with educators, and explore ways to bridge traditional teaching methods with cutting-edge technologies.
We thank the Secondary Medical School in Opava for an inspiring meeting and look forward to the next steps in advancing vocational education innovation!
