The modern features of organization of the pedagogical and educational processes in medical universities

Modern requirements for training of highly qualified specialists at a medical university, who are ready for making independent decisions and continuous professional development, provide for the competent use of various pedagogical approaches and technologies for development of practical skills. To determine the preferred choice of the optimal training technology, we surveyed senior students of the medical university faculty of General Medicine. Graduate students assign a more important role to the content and practical significance of the training sessions, development of practical skills and analysis of clinical cases, while the 5th year students primarily pay attention to the illustrative component of the information provided, the use of role-playing simulation games. To ensure high quality professional training, a modern medical university teacher should give importance to individual approach to students and assess students’ achievements based on their portfolio.
