PRECONDITIONS TO DEEPEN BASIC KNOWLEDGE ON ISSUES OF "NATURAL FOCAL INFECTIONS" IN MEDICAL STUDENTS NOWADAYS

At the stage of forming of fundamental knowledge on focal infectious diseases, three compulsory disciplines are vertically “encountered”: medical biology, microbiology, virology and immunology, and infectious diseases. Microbiology, virology and immunology occupy a central position in the formation of basic knowledge, and as a leading preclinical discipline, it lays the foundations for the application of acquired knowledge, skills and abilities by future healthcare professionals. The article discusses the preconditions to form the fundamental knowledge of natural focal infections in medical students, whose majors are specialty "Medicine», and "Paediatrics", as well as possible ways to boost students’ cognitive activity/ learning interest, taking into account interdisciplinary integration. Medical students gain knowledge on natural focal infectious diseases, the scientifically grounded characteristics of this group of infections and the ways to apply this knowledge during their II and III years being fostered in the educational and cognitive environment of the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology. Students are guided on receiving knowledge on natural focal infections also during independent out-of-class training. Such model is implemented in four stages, each of which assumes its own psychological and didactic goals aimed at the implementation of educational activities, and as the end result, consisting in the formation of basic knowledge on each specific topic of the practical lesson, for each specific thematic block, and at the end of intensive cognitive activity at the department - an expected high-quality educational and effective product from the mastered discipline.
