THE ROLE OF INTERACTIVE METHODS IN DEVELOPING CLINICAL THINKING COMPETENCIES IN STUDENTS OF MEDICAL HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

This article explores the importance of interactive teaching methods in medical education, focusing on real-case analysis, simulation training, and group discussions. These approaches help students develop clinical reasoning, decision-making skills, and professional competence by engaging them actively in learning processes that reflect real clinical practice. The paper also highlights the role of critical thinking in evaluating AI-based clinical data through the "Virtual Doctor – Real Solution" task. It concludes that interactive methods effectively integrate theoretical knowledge with practical skills and prepare students for real-world medical practice.
