Transformation of the higher medical education system in Ukraine: regulatory and legal framework and strategic guidelines

Abstract

[1,2,4]. At the same time, the educational process in higher medical education institutions is facing significant challenges due to the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, which creates additional obstacles to maintaining proper quality. Thus, with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, there was a need to introduce flexible forms of learning, in particular distance education and learning technologies. This is especially true for fundamental disciplines, which are the basis for the formation of professional competencies of future doctors.
