The article examines the issue of forming professional competence of future physicians in the context of informatization of higher medical education. An analysis of modern scientific approaches to the professional training of medical specialists in a digital educational environment has been carried out. The importance of informatization is defined as a key factor in improving the quality of medical education and developing the digital competencies of future physicians. The role of digital technologies in transforming the content, forms, and methods of education in higher medical education institutions is characterized.
The significance of simulation-based learning as an effective means of developing professional skills and abilities is revealed. It is emphasized that the use of digital simulators, virtual platforms, and modern educational technologies ensures safe learning conditions and the possibility of repeated practice of practical skills. The role of digital educational resources, learning management systems, and artificial intelligence technologies in personalizing the educational process is determined.
The main features of modern simulation-based learning are outlined, including stepwise progression, modularity, results-orientation, and multidisciplinarity. It is established that the informatization of education contributes to the development of clinical thinking, communication skills, and decision-making abilities. It is generalized that the integration of digital technologies into the training of future physicians enhances the quality of the educational process and the level of graduates’ professional competence.
