Analysis of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Interactive Teaching Methods in the Training of Future Doctors

Abstract

Changes in political and economic conditions, epidemiological and sociological events, as well as the progress of science and technology require changes in the health care system and medical education. Medical education uses the results of research related to medical science, educational media and communication sciences to facilitate and consolidate learning, as well as for better assimilation of knowledge. There is an acute need for the latest and modern strategies for teaching material and applying practical skills in the process of training a future doctor. It is known that the quality of medical services and the effectiveness of the work of medical personnel depends primarily on the quality of the education received. First, the COVID-19 pandemic, and then the war in Ukraine, jeopardized the continuous training and graduation of doctors at universities. Today, optimization of medical education is one of the most urgent issues facing higher education. Students should have a variety of learning to be able to cope with different life circumstances. For this, educational institutions must be transformed in accordance with modern realities in order to better prepare students for life in a complex world. Thanks to the rapid development of technology and science, students are able to learn throughout their lives and master clinical thinking. This type of training enables them to adapt to changing conditions. Online education, along with a number of advantages, has significant disadvantages, especially in medical education when studying clinical disciplines. Limiting the normal learning process will have a long-term negative impact on the traditional medical education system and will have long-term consequences after COVID-19. To improve online learning, which is likely to become an integral part of education in emergency conditions, new approaches such as problem-based learning and team-based learning should be more often introduced into the educational process, which promotes better student involvement in the learning process and formation of clinical thinking.
