The experience of foreign scientists on the need to master knowledge of medical genetics for the professional competence of physical therapists is considered. The features of teaching the selective educational component "Medical genetics" for applicants for the second (master's) level of higher education in the field of knowledge 22 "Health" specialty 227 "Physical therapy, occupational therapy" are presented. Today, it is relevant to improve the quality of professional training of future specialists in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, in accordance with world and European standards in order to enhance the competitiveness of domestic education, optimize conditions for international student mobility and expand the capabilities of Ukrainian specialists in the domestic and international labor markets. According to the position of modern medicine, any human pathology is often associated with heredity. Since heredity and variability are integral parts of life, medical genetics should be included in the theoretical and practical training of specialists in physiotherapy and occupational therapy. The need for genetic knowledge for specialists in physiotherapy, occupational therapy is also determined by the constant increase in the proportion of hereditary pathology in the structure of morbidity, mortality and disability of the population. We believe that physical therapists need to be prepared for new developments in healthcare, including personalized rehabilitation. The physical therapist profession must embrace medical genetics in order to fulfill its operational role and help shape the future of personalized healthcare delivery. Competence in medical genetics provides additional opportunities for working with peers to integrate such information into a healthcare perspective. By developing and demonstrating this competence, physical therapists continue to enjoy a position of respect among the general health community. We consider it important to include in the training program for applicants for the second (master's) level of higher education the area of knowledge 22 "Health", specialty 227 "Physical therapy, occupational therapy" of an educational component such as "Medical genetics". In this way, the physical therapy profession can collaborate with other medical professions to further strengthen and define its role in patient-centered health care.

Competence approach in the training of future occupational therapists makes it possible to determine the degree of readiness of students for purposeful professional activity. Assessment of the acquisition of competencies by university students remains a serious problem that requires discussion after the application of various assessment methods in the educational process. The purpose coverage of the component of professional competencies and criteria for their evaluation in the teaching of occupational therapy based on the French experience. Material and methods. In this paper we studied professional competencies of a French occupational therapist to obtain a state diploma "Occupational Therapist". We used the following methods: analysis, generalization and systematization of information of scientific and methodical literature. Results and discussion. Training in occupational therapy is carried out at the departments of physical therapy in the specialty 227 – "Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy", which provides two specializations: 227.1 – "Physical Therapy" and 227.2 – "Occupational Therapy". Thus, the component of professional competence is a structural component of the educational program for the training of competent professionals who are able to use the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in practice. In 2019, the Commission of Specialists at the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine developed a draft educational and professional training program for occupational therapists. In this project, professional competencies are divided into 5 professional competencies of the specialty and 14 professional competencies of the specialization. In order to receive a state diploma in occupational therapy, the Decree of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health of France prescribes ten professional competencies that must be mastered by a future specialist. At the same time, this document contains criteria for assessing the student's acquisition of these competencies. This Decree contains the following criteria for assessing professional competencies: “What allows us to say that the skill has been mastered? What exactly do we want to check? What visible signs of a student's acquisition of competence can be observed? What are the signs of good results?” Conclusion. Professional competencies and criteria for their evaluation, which form the basis of training occupational therapists in France, can be considered a complex multidimensional education, which was formed in the process of acquiring professional education and is a powerful motivating factor for training competitive professionals, which direct the perception of goals, values, content, results and features of this activity. This experience of the French school can be useful for the preparation of educational and professional, syllabus and work programs in occupational therapy

Reforming of the higher education system in Ukraine, improving the regulatory framework, the introduction of a new list of competence areas and specialties aimed to training of future specialists, led to the creation of specialty 227 "Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy". However, the standard of higher education at the first (bachelors) level in the specialty 227 "Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy" does not take into account the specifics of activities in the field of physical culture and sports. In turn, a fragment of the theoretical content of the subject area of specialty 017 "Physical Culture and Sports" is the basics of sports medicine, and the standard of higher education at the first (bachelor's) level in this specialty provides for the formation of competence in an individual’s emergency care and body’s pathological processes.
