APPLICATION OF MODERN APPROACHES TO TEACHING THE BASICS OF ONCOGENETICS FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS

Global processes in the area of modernization of quality of education and training necessitate improvement and application of the newest approaches to teaching and submission of material to medical students. At the same time, with the rapid growth of oncological diseases, there is a needing of integrated approaches to the methodology of conducting practical and theoretical disciplines in order to successful educational process, which will allow to train specialists in the medical area of oncology and oncogenetics. The application of innovative and modern pedagogical tools is the foundation that allow the realization of potential opportunities of every future doctor. At the same moment, integration of the teaching of oncogenetics at theoretical departments and the creation of a comprehensive end-to-end program with further continuation on clinical bases. The article analyzed the main modern tools for teaching the basics of oncogenetics for medical students to develop a holistic system of teaching it in the Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University. The most attention of teaching the basics of oncogenetics in the Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University (IFNMU) is devoted on the fifth course in study of the basics of oncogenetics. This applies a method of teaching, which is to create a problematic situation that needs to be analyzed, to identify the main factors of influence and to make a decision. In fact, in the study of oncogenetics, as well as various subjects of the discipline, the task of determining the pedigree, the detailed analysis of cases, the collection of medical history of the patient, who has a malignant tumor in anamnesis. Such tasks can be solved by students both individually and in small groups. Our experience has shown that it is advisable to solve these tasks in a group, because it develops teamwork which, is accompanied by discussions, because everyone is involved in this task. Obviously, it is useful for master every future healthcare provider. This way ensures that the needs of medical students in the area of knowledge and skills are met; a sense of responsibility for the content and decisions taken on that task; ongoing communication with leading experts in the area of oncogenetics; sharing experiences with patients' previous case histories. The presence of a modern, innovative university clinic at IFNMU allows at the postgraduate stage interns together with teachers to simulate possible situations in cases of oncopathology. The deep studing of the basics of oncogenetics continues every year at the Department of Medical Biology and Medical Genetics with clinical residencies. The effect and result of the organization of professional training of future oncogenetics physicians depends on the forms and means of the educational process. The use of interactive teaching methods (business role-playing, video creation, puzzles, etc.) help with shaping the professional competencies of medical students on the basics of oncogenetics. Integration of teaching of the latter can be ensured at creation of the through-program for theoretical and clinical disciplines. Prospects for future research will create methodological recommendations for the integration of teaching the basics of oncogenetics in all departments of the University, conducting complex lectures for students with the involvement of different specialists, wider introduction of modern innovative teaching methods for students of medical specialties of discipline in the area of oncogenetics.
