The aim of the work – to study the methodical aspects of teaching the discipline of Physical Methods of Analysis for the first year students of the pharmaceutical faculty of I. Horbachevsky Ternopil State Medical University (full-time education).
The main body. The discipline of Physical Methods of Analysis will provide students with the knowledge and skills in qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances that in the future will allow competently to carry out their professional duties in the field of quality control of both medicinal substances and medicines. Students also study the theoretical foundations of the above methods and their applications in the pharmaceutical area.
Within practical classes they review the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine [1] – the constitution of medicines, which contains monographs on specific medicinal substances and medicines and describes the appropriate methods of analysis. The quality of API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) is evaluated as a result of this methods.
At carrying out “Identity” and “Quantitative determination” tests of medicinal substances, students determine their qualitative composition and quantitative content, using appropriate pharmacopoeial methods. A detailed and thorough study of the theoretical foundations of physical methods of analysis provides an opportunity to more fully master the material being studied, as well as to realize the scientific and creative potential of students, which enriches their knowledge and practical skills that will be directly used in future pharmaceutical practice.
Conclusions. Thus, the studying of physical methods of analysis is important for the training of future masters of pharmacy. By integrating the laws and methods of many sciences, this discipline stands at the guard of medicines quality, and therefore human health. Analysis and introduction of modern positions and innovative methods into pedagogical activity will allow students to systematize the acquired knowledge and skills in their professional activities, as well as to ensure their competitiveness in the international labor market.
