Insufficient fundamental knowledge of medical university students will not allow them to meet modern requirements of medical science. The choice of physics tasks, the content of which is focused on the future profession, contributes to the formation of professional and general cultural competencies of a doctor and a pharmacist.

Motivation is increased by selecting tasks taking into account the future medical specialty and identifying interdisciplinary connections. The article provides examples of tasks in accordance with the goals set during the lesson.
