SCIENTIFIC STUDENT GROUPS AS AN EFFECTIVE COMPONENT OF MODERN MEDICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Introduction. Scientific student circles play a fundamentally important role in the training of future medical specialists, contributing to a deeper understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of this interdisciplinary field. They create an environment where students can be actively involved in scientific research, which has a direct impact on their professional development and career prospects.

Methods. The research uses theoretical methods such as analysis and synthesis, abstraction, concretization, induction and deduction, modeling, hypotheco-deductive and systemic approach.

Results. Approaches to the organization and functioning of scientific student associations and their interaction in the ESC "Institute of Biology and Medicine" of Taras Shevchenko KNU were studied.

The work experience of four scientific student circles was analyzed: the anatomy circle named after V.O. Betsa, circle of physiology named after O.P. Walter, the pathophysiology circle named after V.V. Pidvysotsky and the immersive technologies circle demonstrates the high efficiency of this component of medical education. It has been demonstrated that scientific circles provide integration of theoretical knowledge with practical activities.

Conclusions. Thus, writing an article about scientific circles is a relevant and important task that allows to emphasize their role in the formation of highly qualified, motivated and competent specialists. This contributes to the improvement of the quality of education and scientific research in higher educational institutions, as well as the preparation of students for professional activities in the conditions of modern society.
