Distance learning technologies for the independent work of English-speaking medical students during clinical practice

The article deals with the proper organization of independent work of students (SRS) during clinical practice. For the organization of the SRS, the use of distance learning technologies (DOT) is considered effective. At the moment, the use of DOT for the organization of SRS during the internship is an urgent task, since in the Federal State Standard (FGOS), according to the results of the internship, the student must master certain skills and competencies, and the time for its passage is limited. The authers identify and analyse pedagogical conditions for the organization of independent work of students using distance learning technologies to improve the effectiveness of clinical practice. Based on the analysis of literature and experience in creating an electronic educational environment, the basic principles and stages of creating an electronic course for organizing independent work of 4th-year students of a medical university studying in a foreign language were identified and characterized. The authors make as conclusion about the effictiveness of remote technologies’ integration into the independent work of students, which makes it possible to repeat theoretical material, study the necessary information about the organization of practice in the hospital, safety techniques, as well as data for filling out accounting documentation. The advantages of remote learning is associated with the visibility, accessibility and consistency of the presentation of the necessary material, the sequence of individual tasks, instilling an effective allocation of student time.
