National strategy of development of Ukraine education marks that a study and introduction of experience of other countries is one of major tasks. European integration influences on all spheres of vital functions of modern society. It is not an exception and system of trade education, including medical. The level of education in a country determines the level of intellectual potential of society and creates conditions for social, economic, scientific and technical progress. Strategies of modern development of medical education of Ukraine are determined through the analysis of world experience of professional preparation of medical workers. In our view considerable scientific and practical interest in this aspect presents experience of Poland Republic. Poland is the first of former socialist countries which signed Bologna declaration in 1999. Nowadays it has considerable works in the field of physicians preparation (high level of medical service of population, professionalism of physicians, normatively legal providing of activity of physicians and so on). Comparing professional preparation of physicians in higher educational establishments of Poland and Ukraine similarity of organization of educational process is set in credit-module system and use of basic forms of organization of educational process. The found out differences touch the management of medical education, formation of student contingent and structure of curricula. On the basis of functional approach in the process of research the semantic basis of professional preparation of physician was determined. In particular, content of the proper curricula and programs is analysed. The study of experience of Poland will enable to conduct an effective changes in Ukrainian medical education. Comparing professional preparation of physicians in higher educational establishments of Poland and Ukraine some experience of medical universities of Poland it is expedient to inculcate in preparation of physicians in Ukraine.
Ukraine is making a remarkable effort to match the current global educational tendencies. New technologies and the Internet are being implemented in all spheres of educational activity, including higher medical education. However, despite the proved importance of the Internet and ICTs implementation in learning, there is a gap in understanding the students' interests as well as the current state of Web-technologies usage in studying. In order to determine the experience of ICTs usage for learning purposes by medical students and highlight the present problems of e-learning development in Ukraine, the study was carried out at Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University. The survey involved 139 medical students of first through sixth year of study within three specialties, namely: general medicine, pediatrics, medical and prophylactic care. The results of the survey show that Internet and its technologies are mainly used as the accessory means of study. Medical students search, overview and learn a dditional information including professionally-oriented one (83%, 116/139). Taking into account a high level of trust (7.6/10) to the Internet and the tendency of the students to discuss information from Internet with their colleagues (96%, 134/139) rather than professionals (65%, 90/139) the following situation could have negative consequences in their future professional activity due to the possible presence of incorrect information in such resources. Students’ interest in the usage of different Internet sources for additional learning material forms the background and stimulus for the faculty to provide the possibility of using these resources in the process of study. The primary educational tasks promoting the e-learning development in Ukraine might be the selection, recommendation and development of highly-qualitative Internet sources and materials, as well as the usage of institutional web-sites and social media pages for teaching and learning purposes.
