Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a restructuring of the educational process and the transition of higher medical education from traditional to distance learning. The use of modern information and communication technologies contributes to the effective implementation of distance learning not only due to rapid technological progress, improving the quality and accessibility of the Internet, but also the formation of professionally oriented knowledge, skills and abilities; creating conditions for self-assessment, improving the quality of student training.

The aim – to highlight the use of information and communication technologies and interactive teaching methods in medical schools in terms of distance learning.

Material and methods. Empirical research methods were used in the work: observation, analysis and generalization. The material of the research was the educational process at I. Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University .

Results. Moodle online learning platform is used for distance learning. It allows students to access lectures, study materials, take tests and prepare for the exam Step-1, Step-2. The use of the online service Microsoft Teams makes it possible to conduct video lectures, classes in real time, provides communication between teachers and students, conducting surveys, debates, self-preparation, increases motivation to prepare for classes, promotes teamwork of students. Through the use of interactive teaching methods (''brainstorming'', discussion, case-method) students develop clinical thinking, communication, ability to work in a team, independence, increases the intensity of learning material and the ability to analyze it. The use of modern interactive teaching methods in medical universities increases the motivation and independence of students, helps to eliminate the negative effect of lack of clinical practice of medical students (communication with patients, history, participation in surgery, etc.) in quarantine restrictions.
