Abstract

One of the main requirements for medical education at present is the training of a highly skilled and competitive specialist who meets international requirements and standards. Traditional techniques that have taken place in the education system in Ukraine to date can’t fully respond to the needs of modern high-tech industries, which are in many foreign countries.

Microbiology, virology and immunology are a fundamental subject, so the information for students at the department is taught laconic and structured for more effective learning and application by students in practical classes in clinical disciplines.

The article presents the structure of the methodological provision of four main areas of conducting classes: lectures, practical, independent and individual work of students. The method used by teachers and described the use of video systems during practical classes is given. It represents the use of information in the form of tables and diagrams using video systems. This allows students to maintain visual contact with the teacher and engage them in an active conversation while discussing the topic and achieve a better effect in the end result. There are described the experience of working out of practical skills by students in classes with the use of an individual approach to each student and a scheme of preparation for acquiring practical skills that takes place in the final classes.

The use of modern tools and technologies in the training of qualified specialists in the field of medicine helps students to master the subject "Microbiology, Virology and Immunology" and acquire the necessary practical skills. It helps to develop a student's creative approach to learning, teaches analysis and systematization of information, promotes the development of professional thinking, makes it self-organized, develops analytical thinking, induces initiative, prepares for classes, makes studying interesting and dynamic, creates a level for all students’ opportunities and access to knowledge, promotes higher efficiency of material mastering
