QUALITY MEDICAL EDUCATION IN UKRAINE AND DIRECTIONS FOR ITS FURTHER OPTIMIZATION

The issue of the quality of education has been and remains relevant. However, it acquired particular urgency in connection with the modernization and improvement of higher professional education, especially in terms of optimizing the training of doctors. This is due to the fact that the medical service is one of the most important links that ensure the timely detection of diseases, prevention and treatment of citizens of our country. An extremely important aspect of training is the final result of the acquisition by each student of the knowledge, skills and abilities that will allow him, after graduation, to work in primary health care institutions. Medical education cannot be of poor quality, because it is directly proportional to the value of human life. But, over time, the problem of professionalism in modern medicine has not yet been exhausted, because the training of a future specialist should be based primarily on obtaining theoretical knowledge and mastering skills even before the graduation stage of training. The purpose of the work was to analyze the aggregate components of high-quality medical education and select directions for further optimization of the educational process at the pre-graduation stage in Ukraine. In modern medical education in Ukraine, the orientation and direction of educational activities to enter the European educational space is clearly defined. One of the important criteria of modern medical education is the constant training of specialists throughout life and motivated involvement in self-education. The professional training of the future doctor is based on deep theoretical knowledge, perfect manual skills, formation of clinical thinking. In addition, the future physician must be prepared to systematically process a significant flow of information, to integrate knowledge from new disciplines. Due to the different level of motivation and theoretical knowledge of students there is a need for a differential approach to the choice of teaching methods at the university. Changing and modernizing the system of higher education requires the introduction of modern teaching of subjects, as well as the involvement of the latest interactive methods of teaching material, dissemination of forms and methods of the educational process, which, of course, should lead to a qualitative change in the pedagogical process. In our opinion, the involvement of teachers in the pedagogical arsenal of effective teaching methods should provide highquality training for future physicians. There is no doubt about the need to use modern educational techniques, using computer technology.
