The issue of academic mobility was actualized after the accession of Ukraine to the European educational and scientific environment. However, implementation of this principle of providing real credit transfer and learning outcomes according to the methodology of ECTS is quite challenging even today if applied to training of medical students. Several reasons can be indicated for that. Firstly, systems of higher education in the countries of European Union and in Ukraine differ in educational levels, anticipated results as well as in the mechanisms of regulation by the state. Thus, the search of opportunities for creating conditions of the gradual equalization of educational content between different players in the educational market in Europe is urgent. Secondly, implementation of the transition of higher medical education to the training of masters of medicine in accordance with the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education" and introduction of new curriculum by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine has created the basis for differences with the previous curriculum of training specialists on the specialty "General medicine". Thus, comparison of the volume of teaching disciplines for students of the same specialties in different countries is extremely relevant from the point of view of harmonization of efforts for further development of joint educational environment. But equally important is the analysis of changes in the distribution of academic hours from the disciplines that took place during the transition of higher medical education in our country to training specialists in the specialty "General Medicine" for the training of specialists of the second (master's) level of higher education in the specialty "Medicine". In the article the outcomes of comparative analysis of curricula for training medical students in HEIs of Ukraine and some countries of Europe is presented in terms of the number of credits from biological and bioorganic chemistry – one of the key medical biological disciplines. Comparing the educational load from the biological chemistry in HEIs in Ukraine and abroad provides additional grounds for predicting the possibility of recognition credits in the context of academic mobility of medical students.

Topicality The relevance of the research of the economic interaction of the labor market and human resources in the healthcare sector is growing today, as it is necessary to involve all interested parties to effective interaction, to ensure the flexibility of higher and vocational education system by adjustment of labor training to the needs of employers. Aim and tasks. The goal of the study is to analyze the interaction of labor markets and education, identify the main disadvantages of this interaction and develop proposals to increase its productivity in the context of meeting the needs and interests of the subjects of these markets. Research results. The interaction of labor markets and educational services can be considered as coordinated behavior of entities engaged in economic activity in these markets in order to balance the supply and demand for skilled labor, create conditions for socio-economic growth of the national economy through the reproduction of human capital and increasing the competitiveness of the workforce. The economic interaction of the labor market and the human resources in the healthcare sector of Ukraine has been analyzed. An assessment of the competitiveness of the field of higher medical education and its institutions in the context of the economic interaction has been carried out. The level of the economic interaction of the educational services market and the labor market has been determined. The process of harmonization of the labor market of EU countries and Ukraine has been investigated. The main causes and disadvantages of the economic interaction of the educational services and the labor markets have been identified. The directions of improvement of the forecasting process of the labor market development as measures of improving the productivity of the studied processes are suggested. The approach to determining the competitive position of a higher medical education institution using a qualimetric approach has been considered, where educational and pedagogical work, personnel, scientific work and international activity are chosen as parameters. The main factor by the parameter of educational and pedagogical work is the medical work, which includes the following evaluation criteria: the number of university clinics, consultative and surgical activity of employees during the year, participation in the creation of clinical protocols, the availability of medical qualification among the teachers, technology acquisition of practical skills. According to the results of competitiveness assessment of higher education institutions, it is proposed to determine the following levels: critical (low); sufficient (average); high (higher than average); excellent (very high). Conclusion. The results of the study indicate an unsatisfactory level of the economic interaction of the labor market and the human resources in the healthcare sector in Ukraine, which is manifested in an imbalance in supply and demand for specialists in the relevant specialties, the low percentage of employed graduates of HEI, the high share of unemployed with higher education and the absence of direct connection between the amount of expenses on the education and the quality of educational services, the imperfection in the information support system and the poor state of forecasting processes in the main indicators of functioning and development of the labor market.

AbstractThe paper emphasises the potential of the autonomy-oriented approach as a scientific basis for the development of innovative training practices in medical universities of Russia. Based on a review of research, theory, and current teaching practices in Professor V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky Krasnoyarsk State Medical University, the paper considers both theoretical and practical aspects of the autonomy-oriented approach implementation in higher medical education. The benefits of the autonomy-oriented approach for both undergraduate and postgraduate medical students are demonstrated from the perspective of the Self-Determination Theory. Our findings indicate that the autonomy-oriented approach in higher medical education is associated with a more “personalised” teaching style through supporting students’ self-determination, engagement and autonomy. The summative evaluation of the results of the study with participation of 54 medical students and 33 medical university teachers suggests that the use of the autonomy-oriented approach in higher medical education leads to effective implementation of creative, innovative, contextual and problem-based training techniques as well as students’ and teachers’ personal and professional self-development.

Globalize World demands to realize Higher Education for making most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. Higher Education is an important factor in further enhancing research in underpinning Higher Education for the economic and cultural development of our societies and for social cohesion. The effort to introduce structural change and improve the quality of teaching should not detract from the effort to strengthen research and innovation. Ministers meeting in Berlin in September 2003 added an Action Line to the Bologna process entitled "European Higher Education Area and European Research Area "“ two pillars of the knowledge based society" that underlines the key role of research training in this context. Bergen Communique (2005) has chosen 3 priorities including quality assurance (internal/external quality assurance) and appealed to,, Strengthen research, innovation, emphasize the importance of research and research-training''. In London Communique (2007) is marked that,, Higher Education Institutions should continue to develop their internal system of quality assurance''. The task of Higher Medical Education everywhere is the provision of Health Care. Notwithstanding variations, there is a high degree of equivalence of structure, process, and product of medical school worldwide. Research is an integral part of Higher Medical Education: increasing the role and relevance of research to technological, social and cultural evolution and to the needs of Society.

Introduction: With the current reality that we are experiencing with the beginning of the new coronavirus (nCov) pandemic, everyone is dealing with new challenges. Among these, there are medical students, with their practical activities interrupted and many concerns. Objective: This article portrays the experience of medical students attending internship and the impact of the pandemic on medical education. Discussion: Among the multiple issues that students have been experiencing, there is a duality between the desire to engage in the fight against the pandemic and the fear of contamination of their friends and family. Furthermore, there is an increasing offer of online content, such as courses, congresses, and discoveries regarding COVID-19. With the massive adoption of Open and Distance Learning, the student faces the duality between traditional and active teaching methods, in addition to fear about the interruption of practical activities and the question of when they will be re-established. Finally, there are concerns about the students’ future: when and how they will complete the medical course, and the preparation for Medical Residency Exams. Conclusion: It is clear that the pandemic is significantly affecting already concerned medical students, in multiple aspects of their lives, about their training and completion of the course.

This paper attempts to provide some insights about the use and perception of undergraduate students about the applications of these devices at University and the importance they give to the adoption of mobile technologies in their education. The methodology used for this purpose was a designed survey distributed to different undergraduate students of Medical Schools from University of Salamanca. It collects information of the most relevant aspects that the students consider when they interact with mobile devices, how often they use them and the type of apps they download. Also, it makes an especial mention of training apps and their handling by the participants. The survey is based on the Technological Acceptance model of Davis. This model helps us to understand the current situation of mobile technologies from the point of view of students. This paper also analyses the existing relationships between the different factors that could influence in their attitude to accept the mobile technology.

The article is devoted to the first years of Soviet power, when there was a formation of the relationship between higher medical school and the Bolsheviks. Attention is given to carrying out the militarization of higher medical school in the early 1920s by Soviet authorities. It was the first attempt to reform the higher education for the purpose of building a new society. The experience gained by the People's Commissariat of Education in carrying out reforms, will be used in the mid-1920s, when the Bolsheviks begin to radically change higher education in the country.
