The educational process at the ARI PHMB Departments is carried out in accordance with the approved standards of higher education, educational and professional programs, curricula for the relevant levels of higher education, in accordance with the approved educational programs of the disciplines.
The epidemic of coronavirus infection and the war forced to establish the educational process by distance and mixed forms of education. Employees of the department did a lot of work to improve the quality of conducting practical classes during the period of martial law. In addition to departmental educational materials (bases of educational and methodological complexes, banks of video lectures recorded by teachers, other video materials), international educational platforms (ELSEVIER HEALTH, AMBOSS, EBSCO, Lecturio) are used to ensure the educational process, to which teachers and students have free access on a regular basis.
To ensure a high level of education, the teachers of the ARI departments have created repositories of video lectures, which are located on the pages of the departments in the Moodle system, as well as on YouTube.
On the websites of the departments in the Moodle system, all educational and methodical materials from the taught disciplines are constantly updated, including lecture presentations, methodological guidelines and materials for preparing for practical classes. All departments of the ARI PHMB developed syllabi for all disciplines, which are posted on the departments' WEB pages.
In order to properly prepare students of higher education to take the Unified State Qualification Exam, which includes Krok (“Step”) and a foreign language according to their professional direction, at each practical session teachers perform test multiple choice question tasks on a relevant topic, including tasks from the database of the Center for Independent Testing of Knowledge of Students of Higher Education.
The departments are carrying out individual plans for improving the qualifications of TNMU teachers (in accordance with the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, resolution No. 800 dated August 21, 2019 “Some issues of improving the qualifications of teaching and research and teaching staff”). Popular are the advanced training courses of TNMU teachers: “Professional pedagogical competence of a teacher of a higher education institution” and “Modern technologies of distance learning: problems of their implementation in the educational process of higher medical educational institutions.” Many teachers, in accordance with the requirements of the accumulation point system, attended online seminars, trainings, webinars both in Ukraine and abroad.
According to the results of the student questionnaire regarding the quality of educational activities, many teachers of the ARI PHMB occupy high places, and are awarded with certificates of honor, and the teachers who entered the first “five” are awarded points for the annual rating of scientific and pedagogical workers.
