The modern world is unthinkable without the latest information technologies and the Internet, which brought to the educa

tional process new tools and teaching methods. The high-quality organization of teaching students of medical universities requires the use of innovative methods, since at the present stage of development of medicine, the flow of information is extensive and quickly updated. To optimize students’ access to modern programs, to get information as quickly as possible at the Department of Ophthalmology, TMA has developed a bot platform based on the 

Telegram messenger.

Bot or chat bot (robot) is the abbreviated name of special assistant programs that perform monotonous, often repetitive tasks, mainly in searching for information. The bot shows news on a user-defined subject, finds and 

downloads any information from various 

applications, sends out a newsletter, delivers information about updates on the subject. The bot allows students to get the most complete and in a short time all the information on ophthalmology, which previously had to be searched through various search engines on the Internet.
With the help of the bot, students can get acquainted with the latest literature, videos with various methods of surgical treatment and diagnosis in ophthalmology.
Using a bot has several advantages: It gives a quick response to a request, it operates around the clock, is safe, because does not have access to personal information of the user, allows you to use the bot remotely. However, the use of the bot is possible with the access to the Internet and it must be borne in mind that the accuracy of information on the Internet is not absolute.
Thanks to bots, students today are not limited by the spatial and temporal framework and can receive information and learn remotely
