Abstract

The article describes the experience of the quality of medical students’ training by introducing a case-method into the educational process in higher medical schools in order to improve the formation and improvement of clinical thinking.

In the course of the work, a big volume of information was used and personal experience taking into account the principles of systemic approach and analysis. To improve the quality of medical students’ training it is necessary to use the innovative teaching methods. The personal clinical archive is to preserve the archival material to use them in the training process (a case-method), in the analysis of a clinical case and the use of data in the scientific work.

Case method as a method of analysis of a particular clinical case allows to reveal and form the necessary for the further work of the quality and ability of medical students, forms clinical thinking, analytical abilities, autonomy in decision-making, communicative, skills of work with a sufficiently large amount of information. Modern methods and means of information technology need to be purposefully implemented in clinical practice and educational process for the development of professional skills, the formation of clinical thinking, the accumulation of clinical experience.
