EXPERIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND TEACHING OF THE DISCIPLINE «PHYSICAL FOUNDATIONS OF DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY» AT A MEDICAL UNIVERSITY
AbstractDynamic changes in the scientific, informational and logistical bases of healthcare affect the requirements of professional standards for specialist doctors introduced by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation. The transition to the Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education (FSES HE) of the III generation in various areas of medical training has led to the emergence of new disciplines in medical universities.
Diagnostic and instrumental examination methods are an obligatory category of general professional competencies for a general practitioner and a pediatrician. The task of forming the competencies specified in the educational standard of future doctors requires comprehensive fundamental training, including knowledge of the physical foundations of diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The study of these fundamentals in the framework of the discipline “Physics, Mathematics” is not sufficient. The task is solved by introducing a new discipline «Physical foundations of Diagnosis and Therapy» into the educational process of the Rostov State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. This discipline consists of one module, studied by students for one semester and taught in the 3rd year of training of medical practitioners and pediatricians. The module was developed by the teachers of the Department of Medical Physics, Mathematics and Information Technology. A survey of students was conducted, feedback on the optimization and implementation of the educational process was analyzed. The methods of forming the skills set by the implemented general professional competence are defined. The objectives of the discipline are: mastering the physical basis of modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods and factors affecting the patient, gaining practical skills in working with medical equipment, as well as studying the use of high tech appliances in medicine and healthcare.
The experience of fundamental training of medical students for the implementation of general professional competence related to the use of diagnostic methods and medical devices provided for the provision of medical care can be used in other medical universities.
