THE ROLE OF PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES AND TEACHING EXCELLENCE IN THE FORMATION OF CLINICAL COMPETENCIES IN MEDICAL EDUCATION
Keywords:
medical education, pedagogical technologies, teaching excellenceAbstract
The rapid transformation of medical education requires the integration of advanced pedagogical technologies and high-level teaching excellence to ensure the effective formation of clinical competencies among future healthcare professionals. This study explores the role of innovative teaching methods, including interactive learning, simulation-based training, and student-centered approaches, in enhancing the quality of medical education. Special attention is given to the pedagogical mastery of instructors, which significantly influences students’ critical thinking, decision-making, and practical skills in clinical settings. The findings suggest that the combination of modern pedagogical technologies with professional teaching competence contributes to improved learning outcomes, better knowledge retention, and the development of essential clinical skills. The study highlights the necessity of continuous professional development for educators and the implementation of technology-driven instructional strategies in medical institutions.
