CONTENT OF HUMANITARIAN TRAINING OF THE FUTURE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS: INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTEXT

Abstract

Modern Ukrainians have a number of problems determined by the low level of spiritual and physical health culture. Medical professionals are able to solve them to a great extent. Since first of all the ideological values of education are reflected in humanitarian field, the purpose of our study is to determine the ideological content of the humanitarian training of future physicians in an interdisciplinary context. Methods of scientific literature analysis, historical-comparative analysis of events, phenomena and processes were used in the research; analyzing the content of typical programs in the disciplines of the humanities cycle, we use the content analysis method, as well as axiological and gender methodological approaches. Based on the results of analysis of the content of educational programs in the History of Ukraine, Ukrainian Culture, Philosophy and other (including elective) disciplines taught at medical universities in Ukraine, we characterized its national and gender components. The results of the study showed that the national component mainly reflects such a feature of Ukrainian identity as liberty, partly religiosity and public self-help. The gender component is almost absent, there is no information about women’s organizations as an environment of educational work on maternity and childhood protection and health care in general, outstanding women-doctors, gender aspects of Philosophy and Medicine. In terms of solving the scientific problem, the author offers original examples of the implementation of national and gender values in Higher Medical Education. At the same time, the main ideological basis should be the recognition of a person (including an unborn child and/or a disabled child, a woman/man with disabilities, etc.), their dignity, safety, health and life as the highest individual and social values.
