THE ROLE OF THE STUDENT'S RESEARCH WORK IN THE FORMATION OF A FUTURE PROFESSIONAL

An important stage in the formation of a future specialist is the independent work of the student, in particular the involvement of the best students in scientific research work, which allows to fully identify the individuality, creativity, readiness for self-realization of students' personality. Student scientific research work (SRW) is an in-tegral part of the scientific activity of each university in Ukraine and the first stage in the training of scientific personnel, which is usually implemented in the depart-ments (student's scientific circles) and in the scientific structural units of the university (student's scientific soci-ety). Scientific research is a tool that helps students form a scientific outlook, master the methodology and basic methods of scientific research. SRW promotes accelerated mastery of the specialty and the achievement of high professionalism. Thanks to the research work, the student has the opportunity to develop his creative and scientific thinking, to improve theoretical knowledge, to get acquainted with other young scientists for further cooperation outside the home university. The main tasks of the scientific research work of students in Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University are: involvement of talented youth into scientific re-search, organization of student's participation in competi-tions of student's scientific works, student's scientific conferences and olympiads. Scientific work of students of IFNMU is carried out according to the well-known scheme of scientific analysis. The students` research is carried out by scien-tific and pedagogical staff of the University. Their main task is to assist the student in the process of mastering the basics of scientific search, providing advice and monitor-ing the implementation of work in all its stages. In the course of research and development, the supervisor helps to select a topic, formulate the purpose and objectives, recommend the most important literature and sources on the subject of work, evaluate the content of the text in its individual components and in general, recommend mak-ing changes and refining certain parts of the work. The scientific-practical conferences at which the students report, starting from the name itself, contain not only and not so much theoretical scientific reports as discussing ways of solving practical problems. Very often, they are held outside the universities, in the territo-ries of medical institutions with which the university maintains relations. The system of research work is an important component of professional training of the future special-ist. It should be aimed at forming the personality of a health care worker who, using the acquired in higher education design (ability to plan any type of work), adaptation (ability to apply this plan in specific conditions), organizational, motivational, communicative, cognitive skills, thus will increase its competitiveness in the labor market. Conclusion. Therefore, student research work at a medical university is an integral part of the educational activity. It is aimed at integrating scientific, educational and production work in the higher education system and is an integral part of the professional competence and competitiveness of the future graduate in the labor mar-ket.
