On the background of this thematic area of theoretical and scientific concerns, our study tackles and develops specific aspects of the influence of the teaching skills on the quality of the content and objectives of Professional English language teaching in a medical institution of higher education. The article deals with the approaches of modern researchers to the professional activity of a teacher in a higher educational institution and presents a psychological perspective of the problem, taking into account the components of high-quality education.
