In the process of work, the doctor has to process a significant amount of information, establish contacts with different departments of the medical institution or between different institutions, work with a significant flow of patients, making decisions concerning human life and health. Modern medical information systems, which are widely implemented in various areas of health care, allow to optimize the doctor's activity, provide him with quick access to databases and resources of the clinic, improve the efficiency of diagnosis, reduce the error rate. Graduates of higher educational medical institutions must be able to apply them in their professional activities, know their advantages and disadvantages. This is facilitated by the inclusion of topic on Medical Information Systems (MIS) in the curriculum of the discipline «Medical Informatics». The aim of the article is to consider the main approaches to the organization of students'’work with modern medical software in medical informatics classes on the example of experience in studying the topic «Medical Information Systems» at National Pirogov Memorial Medical University. Research methods: theoretical analysis of methodical approaches to the study of information systems in universities and generalization of experimental experience of teachers of the Department of Biological Physics, Medical Equipment and Informatics. Effective formation of practical skills of work with MIS at future doctors is promoted by observance of the following sequence of actions: comparison of the capabilities of Medods, MedElement, Doctor Eleks, Meduchet SQL, EMCiMED platforms; work in a virtual university clinic with the Doctor Eleks software package; diagnosis of diseases using training expert systems «RG-lungs», «Diarrhea», Wero. The method of organization of practical work of students with medical information systems described in the article is used in the educational process by teachers of VNMU for the fifth year. This allowed to form in our graduates an understanding of the peculiarities of the work of various departments of medical institutions.
