Teachers of the Department of Anatomy, Histology, and Topographic Anatomy named after Professor N.A. Khlopov, together with 4th-year students (Urkumbayev Daryn – group 4306 and Ameshova Anelia – group 4102 “General Medicine”), have developed and introduced a digital methodological guide for studying surgical instruments into the educational process. This new assistant can scan each surgical instrument through a smartphone using a special QR code, instantly reading the names in Kazakh, Russian, and English. The priority of this tool is that not only students studying topographic anatomy but also anyone interested can familiarize themselves with and study it at any time. The set of surgical instruments is located in an accessible place in our department and is fixed on special stands, where students can study independently and without the participation of a teacher.

The authors of this development are teachers of the Department of Anatomy, Histology, and Topographic Anatomy named after Professor N.A. Khlopov.[/vc_column_text]
