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.

Interactive educational modules (IEM) are one of the types of educational elements of continuous medical and pharmaceutical education, which allow promptly providing the opportunity to improve competencies to a significant number of healthcare workers, regardless of their location. The paper describes methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of IEM development and provides examples of their use based on data for the third quarter of 2022. The analysis of the effectiveness of IEM development is carried out in three areas: the results of reviewing Portal user requests, the success of IEM development, and user satisfaction analysis (user ratings and survey results).

The article is devoted to the analysis of methods of teaching pulmonology in different groups of therapists and medical specialists. It is shown that modern methods of training primary care physicians do not meet the demands of the time and modern realities of practical activity and life. The reasons for this circumstance are analyzed from different sides. It is shown that the applied teaching methods do not improve the knowledge of doctors and transfer it to practical activity. New training schemes are proposed that allow doctors, primarily primary care physicians, to more fully provide and consolidate their knowledge, as well as to interpolate the acquired knowledge into their practical activities.

The article draws an analogy between teaching clinical medicine and, in particular, clinical thinking, as learning a foreign language. Unlike everyday language, professional language describes a special reality – the discursive space of a particular cultural practice. The set of concepts describing professional reality in medical knowledge is so rich that it can be compared with a full-fledged language. The richness of descriptions of body processes, the richness of their explanation through the introduction of categories from related areas – branches – of science, the interaction of reductionism and a holistic view, make the language of medicine stand out from professional languages. Syntax of concepts is the ability to cognize the subject of interest (disease, health) and influence it with a given goal. The need to work with the psychosomatic component of diseases and their prevention emphasizes the complexity of medical language. The article is not a detailed philosophical explication, but offers readers - professionals in medical education - to look at pedagogy, especially at the development of clinical thinking from the angle of language learning.

The objective is to analyze the effectiveness of postgraduate studies at the Department of Therapeutic Profile of the Medical University. Methods. An anonymous survey of 11 postgraduate students (6 men and 5 women) aged 26 to 35 years, who studied in the specialty of "internal diseases" and "cardiology" in the period from 2018 to 2024, was conducted. Results. All postgraduate students (100%) who completed their postgraduate studies successfully and on time passed the state final certification, defended their research and qualification work and dissertation. An increase in the level of knowledge for passing candidate exams was noted compared to the level of preparation at the time of admission to postgraduate study (from 8 [7; 9] to 9 [8; 9] points). The answer to the question "How interesting are you to engage in research activities" corresponded to 10 [9; 10], "How much do you rate your desire to engage in teaching activities" - 10 [9; 10] points. All postgraduate students voted for the desire to continue engaged in research activities after defending their dissertation. Difficulties with data collection were noted by 55%, with statistical data processing - 36%, with preparation of the "literature review" section - 27%, "material and research methods" - 18%, "own results" - 18% of postgraduate students. The demand for the skills and abilities acquired during postgraduate studies in practical activities was estimated at 9 [8; 10] points. When asked what needs to be improved during postgraduate studies, 63.64% of postgraduate students answered that nothing should be improved, 36.36% chose research training, 9.09% - theoretical training at the university. Conclusion. The specifics of postgraduate studies at the Department of Outpatient Therapy of the Institute of Clinical Medicine using multilateral training of specialists in theoretical, scientific and pedagogical directions contribute to the effective preparation of the dissertation research and its defense on time. There is a high interest of postgraduate students in scientific and pedagogical activities.
