Innovative approaches to optimizing the professional training of medical personnel in the context of the digital transformation of higher education in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The relevance of the research is due to the need to modernize the medical education system in the context of rapid digitalization and global health challenges. The purpose of the work is to theoretically substantiate and experimentally test a set of innovative approaches to optimizing the professional training of physicians, ensuring the formation of competencies adequate to the requirements of digital medicine. The research is based on the integration of system-activity, competence-based and acmeological approaches. The empirical base includes data from longitudinal monitoring of the professional development of 450 medical students from 12 regions of the Russian Federation. A set of methods was used: questionnaires, expert assessment, analysis of products of activity, statistical data processing. A structural and functional model for optimizing medical training has been developed and verified, including targeted, substantive, procedural and evaluative-effective blocks. The effectiveness of simulation technologies, the case method, and project-based learning in the formation of digital competencies has been proven. The positive dynamics of motivation, cognitive activity, and academic performance of students were revealed. The obtained results make a significant contribution to the development of the theory and methodology of professional medical education. The proposed model can serve as a conceptual basis for designing adaptive educational programs. The practical value is associated with the possibility of replicating proven approaches. The prospects of the research are the development of personalized educational trajectories for physicians.
