Abstract:
The role of pediatric elective educational disciplines (EED) in the training of
future doctors is an important and integral component of the medical education process. EED
plays a key role in the formation, skills, competencies and professional qualities of medical
students, and specialization in the pediatric profile directly helps future doctors master and
assimilate the basic principles and practical aspects of treating children. Currently, pediatric-oriented EED in a medical institution (namely, in the 5th and 6th years of medical faculty students) plays an important role in the training of students, providing them with the opportunity to acquire specialized knowledge, develop the necessary skills and competencies, and develop a sense of empathy, as well as develop clinical thinking and responsibility toward their future patients. Understanding and mastering the listed aspects are key to the formation of highly qualified future doctors at the current stage.
