COMPETENCE APPROACH IN INTERNAL MEDICINE TEACHING

The article is devoted to the problem of competent teaching of internal medicine at Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University. The article defines and substantiates the theoretical foundations and practical ways of forming the professional competence of future physicians in the conditions of modern education. It is noted that for successful formation of professional competence, outlook formation and personality orienta-tion on the basis of which students learn the knowledge and skills; development of professional abilities in the context of acquiring pedagogical experience; individual-ly-differentiated approach in the educational process are required. The paper states that the formation of the per-sonality of the future specialist, his professional orienta-tion can not occur spontaneously, this process requires the hard work of all teachers. Success is ensured by accu-rate knowledge of the goals and objectives of education, taking into account the laws that determine the formation of views, beliefs, cultural values of the individual, the choice of effective methods and means of education. Clinical and diagnostic methods for the study of internal medicine play a key role in the diagnostic process, control over the course of the disease, and the effectiveness of treatment. Therefore, clinical, laboratory erudition, competence are especially important in the work of a practitioner. The formation of such erudition begins with the study of internal medicine. On the example of the presentation of the topics, we seek to demonstrate our vision of how to form a student-physician subject-specific competence. Modern education is aimed at forming a young specialist who not only possesses a certain set of knowledge, but is also a creative and communicative person. In professional development, the leading factor is the implementation of a competence approach. The competence of a specialist allows to change professional activity in the conditions of dynamic development of society, the implementation of reforms in the professional sector. The introduction of a competence approach in the educational process is an important task of modern education. It presupposes the orientation of the educational process to the formation and development of key competences of the individual, promotes the formation of the ability to independently solve professional problems of varying complexity based on knowledge and experience, consider obstacles for further development. Competence approach has now become a public phenomenon and claims to be the role of a new conceptual framework, which should be the training of specialists. After all, the essence of a competence approach is not so much in informing the person being trained as in the ability to teach it to solve problems that may arise in both professional and everyday life. Therefore, an important task of modern education is the ability of future specialists to independently solve problems of various complexity based on their knowledge and their own experience, as well as think critically, be able to adapt to the changing world. And this is facilitated by the combination of edu-cational process with professional practice.
