Іnteractive technologies in teaching pathological anatomy: impact on the quality of medical student training

Abstract

The paper investigates the impact of interactive technologies on the quality of medical students' training in pathological anatomy. The article is devoted to modern approaches to teaching, which contribute not only to better mastering of the educational material, but also to the formation of professional competencies necessary for future clinical practice. The main attention is focused on assessing the effectiveness of innovative educational methods in comparison with traditional forms of training. The study considers the implementation of such methods as simulation classes, virtual laboratories, interactive electronic platforms, case methods and group discussions. It is noted that the interactive approach not only develops students' ability to think critically, but also contributes to an in-depth analysis of morphological changes in tissues and organs based on real clinical examples. Particular attention is paid to the adaptation of educational materials to modern educational needs, which includes the creation of multimedia content, modular programs and testing in digital format. The aim of the study is to identify ways to increase the effectiveness of the educational process by integrating innovative technologies into the traditional training system. The paper analyzes the results of a survey of medical students conducted to assess the impact of interactive methods on their motivation, perception of the material, and confidence in applying the acquired knowledge in practice. The results obtained indicate that interactive approaches increase students' interest in learning, improve communication skills, and develop the ability to make reasoned decisions. The authors proposed new strategies for integrating innovative technologies, such as combining lectures with practical classes in a virtual environment, using simulations to practice complex pathological cases, and using distance platforms to consolidate knowledge. The study confirms the feasibility of using interactive methods in medical education aimed at improving the professional level of graduates. The data obtained may be useful for developing and improving educational programs in pathological anatomy, as well as other fundamental disciplines taught in medical institutions of higher education.
