The history of medicine as an academic discipline: traditions in clinical medical education and modern teaching methods
Nataliya P. Shok, Mariya S. Sergeeva.
The authors examine current methodological issues, concerning the historical and contemporary significance of the history of medicine in the system of higher medical education and the development of doctors’ professional competency. The fact that courses on the history of medicine traditionally have had a dual nature in the framework of the educational process is demonstrated. At present, methodically it is part of a general theoretical block of fundamental disciplines, methodologically continuing to solve issues as a propaedeutic discipline, ensuring continuity not only between curriculum subjects in one specialization but also between different levels of medical higher education.
