Abstract. Substantiation of one of the effective ways of improving the education quality level to achieve program learning outcomes when training higher medical education students in the format of mixed (classroom-distance) teaching is given in the article. The necessity to conduct the educational process just that form is determined by up-to-date conditions of the Ukrainian society development. The process of training future medical specialists to obtain “holder of a master’s degree” by educationalprofessional program “Medicine” begins with the studying the educational subjects of the general training cycle. Obligatory studying, in particular “Medical biology and molecular biology” discipline, is already provided on that stage, within the limits of the general training cycle. In order to improve the educational process under conditions of the compound form of teaching, distance learning technologies by means of the modern electronic educational platform eOsvita, what clearly presents the organizational-methodological and educational- reference blocks, necessary for participants in the educational process, as well as means of self-control and testing the students’ knowledge have been actively used in Bukovinian State Medical University, in particular, the Department of Medical Biology and Genetics, since 2025. Separate aspects to perfect the forms, means and methods of gaining skills and abilities in medical biology and genetics during the training medical students and obtaining by them general and professional competencies, have been demonstrated. Search for the new and existing improved educational technologies, contributing to the formation and development of professional competence of medical specialists, has been shown to be the main task of teachers when organizing educational process at the theoretical department under conditions of the mixed format of teaching. Attention is concentrated on the use by participants of modern information-communication technologies in the educational process, in particular the online system Socrative.
