Teachers from the Department of Public Health, Healthcare, and Hygiene at RUDN University won first place in the 5th All-Russian Teaching Excellence Competition. The competition was held by the Russian Ministry of Health to share best practices and improve the training of healthcare management personnel.
Participants demonstrated the use of modern educational technologies, including digital, gaming, and simulation methods. The competition consisted of several stages: applications were collected from teachers from April 28 to May 15, followed by a submission period from May 16 to June 15. An expert committee then evaluated the submitted works according to approved criteria and selected the top 10. The teachers who made it into the top 10 presented their papers at an online conference on June 19. The competition winners were invited to speak at the 10th All-Russian Conference of the Russian Ministry of Health on Healthcare Management Training, which was held in November.
The winners of the competition were Professor Anna Fomina, Head of the Department of Public Health, Healthcare, and Hygiene at RUDN University, Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Elena Kaverina, Candidate of Medical Sciences and Associate Professor. Their work was recognized as the best among more than 40 submissions from leading medical universities across the country. The award was presented to our teachers at the 10th All-Russian Conference by Artem Narkevich, Director of the Department of Medical Education and Personnel Policy in Healthcare of the Russian Ministry of Health.
Developing leaders
The RUDN University team's work focuses on the experience of training managers for national healthcare systems through extracurricular activities with students—a professional student association and a research club. We spoke with Anna Vladimirovna Fomina, who shared her impressions of participating in the competition.
The competition is billed as a platform for sharing experiences. Did you learn anything useful from your colleagues' presentations?
Yes, we became familiar with educational technologies such as conducting various types of business games, applying elements of systems analysis in teaching management-focused disciplines, studying lean manufacturing and process factory technologies, and many others.
What qualities are important to cultivate in healthcare leaders today?
A healthcare leader must not only possess knowledge of medicine and healthcare, but also possess teamwork, communication, and project management skills, as well as the ability to assume responsibility for overall results. These skills can be acquired through extracurricular activities and training, including within our "Healthcare Organizers and Leaders" program.
Tell us briefly about your experience—how exactly do the PSO and the scientific circle help prepare future healthcare managers?
It's probably a bit early to say that our PSO has trained successful managers in the healthcare system, as we were founded only a few years ago. However, our active members are already successfully pursuing residency training and active research after graduating. I believe we will definitely see outstanding examples of our PSO graduates in the future, but for now, this will take some time.
