Kobyakova OS, Khodakova OV, Senotrusova YuE
Due to the current social trends, the educational paradigm shifts to practice-oriented competencies, especially in medical training. Its goal is to examine whether it is possible to use a student workbook as a tool for practice-oriented training under additional professional programs in Healthcare Management and Public Health. This workbook can be used to initiate independent learning of students who are involved in full- and part-time professional retraining. The tool consists of five sections devoted to the discipline methodology, medical demography and morbidity of population, pressing issues of medical insurance, provision of medical aid, and legal aspects of healthcare activity. It embraces various types of practical tasks including cases and real-life legal scenarios. Practical tasks within the workbook are in compliance with the professional standard for a specialist in healthcare management and public health and targeted primarily at analytical competencies ofspecialists. A teacher grades papers and provides qualitative feedback. Thus, the workbook is an effective tool of the educational process that builds and maintains required practical skills among specialists in healthcare management and public health.

Sokolova AnnaV., Dragunov DO, Arutyunov GP, Prirodova OF
Teaching clinical thinking represents a pivotal stage in medical education. Using essays belongs to the group of novel pedagogical tools that enhance traditional teaching methods. In this study, the researchers sought to assess the potential of the essay as a tool enhancing clinical thinking skills among students.1.244 essays on the topic of pneumonia written by the third year students at the Department of Propaedeutics of Internal Diseases of Institute of Clinical Medicine No. 1 were analyzed in the study. The total corpus of used words amounted to 161.309 with 6.498 of them being unique lexical units. The average essay length was 129.7±59.9 words, whereas the average number of unique words amounted to 95.8±34.8. The type-token ratio (TTR) was 0.76±0.076 demonstrating good lexical diversity in essays. According to the analysis, introductions were mainly descriptive, body paragraphs contained details about clinical signs and diagnostic tools, whereas conclusions embraced concluding statements with diagnosis being related to the therapeutic strategy. The data obtained prove that an essay is an effective method for developing clinical thinking skills because it encourages students to transition from merely recalling information to making informed clinical decisions.

Review Specialization in anestesiology and resuscitation: evident and concealed facts. Review of methods and problems in training of specialists
Lazarev VV
Anesthesiology and resuscitation (AR) are crucial among medical professions as their mastery requires high professionalism in three basic areas such as cognitive learning (knowledge), psychomotor (manual) skills and affective skills. Novel methods of interactive learning include online forums as social media where clinical issues and unordinary medical scenarios are discussed. Apart from positive aspects of modern training methods of AR professionals, negative aspects include excessive screen time. It results in vision impairment, headaches, increase of weight, obesity-related diseases, etc. During the last years, the issues of gender inequality, discrimination against women manifested in both micro and macro inequalities and medicine feminization are increasingly being raised globally while preparing AR professionals. Participation of students in research programs that allows primary access to new data, technologies, abilities and skills is essential for training of specialists. Apart from well-known and well-established methods of teaching professional mastery, AR faces some issues (educational research, gender-specific differences in teaching a profession, etc.) which currently remain out of sight of the professional community.
