In connection with the necessity of formation of communicative skills of the future doctor there is an actual question on methodology of formation of skills of the future doctor with patients, namely: what experts (teachers of what departments), when and how should form communicative skills of the future doctor. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the most effective forms and methods of the educational process in the formation of communication skills of the future doctor. 87 % of teachers of clinical departments who participated in the study believe that it is necessary to teach communication skills to medical students from the 1st year of medical school. The most effective they recognize the joint training within the modular discipline using the "standardized patient" method, which, in turn, requires the joint development of clinical scenarios, checklists and other methodological materials to create a database of "clinical cases" for each medical specialty.

At a Medical University the object of study and the subject of the future activity of a specialist is a person, and the quality of training for a medical graduate should be at the top level. In the system of administration of a higher educational establishment, the basic level is faculty one. At the educational establishment each faculty has its own specified task and a part of the eventual goal is the training of a qualified specialist who is able to decide important tasks for the protection and preservation of population health. Medical faculty No 1 is one of the main organizational and educational-scientific structural subdivisions of the Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy, which was founded by the decision of the Academic Council, combines various departments, and works in accordance with the normative base. At each faculty, the dean works directly with the students. All dean's office members work with students directly at all stages of students’ molding as specialists and personalities. The dean's office of the medical faculty No 1 supports the organization and control of the educational process at the faculty; provides information for the assuring of high-grade educational process; controls the training of medical students; provides office work and document circulation according to the legislation. To provide effective educational process, the dean of the medical faculty No 1 and dean’s officers monitor the success and attendance of classes carefully and systematically, assist tutors in charge in organizational work with academic groups. Obligatory work of the dean’s office administration is participation in the group meetings, courses’ gathering according to organizational and educational issues, and realization of routine site meetings. Cultural, sports, health-improving, public, and volunteer kinds of work are very important for interest of young people in education. In the process of learning it is important to form a comprehensively developed personality. The dean and his mates deal with the issue of providing the medical students with hostels or other accommodation.  Control for the organization and performing of professional training course is constant duties of the dean's office. This is one of the most important stages in the education of a future doctor. The specificity of the medical profession requires constant contact with colleagues, because there are different situations that require consultation with leading specialists, who are highly qualified professionals.

The article reveals the role and importance of the project method of Latin teaching; to represent the sample of the project “Latin and Greek medical terminology and their corresponding national equivalents in English”. The basic terminology competence of medical students is formed in Latin lessons because Latin vocabulary is used in Anatomy, Histology, Chemistry, Biology, as well as further clinical disciplines. Thus, the principle of close interdisciplinary integration helps students better understand the nature of the anatomical, histological, pharmaceutical, and clinical terms. Project-based learning to teach Latin and Greek medical terminology contributes training in logical thinking, boosting cognitive processes essential for medicine, and causes the development of research and creative skills of medical students, the ability to independently construct their knowledge, navigate the information space and think critically. It has been found that the use of project learning combined with all necessary elements of co-operating training of future medical workers greatly facilitates their creative training, development of communicative skills and contributes to independent decision-making. The efficient using project-based learning to teach Latin and Greek medical terminology in higher medical educational institutions in combination with conventional teaching and technical support provides the highest quality of the educational process.

Abstract: Introduction: University extension projects with socially excluded populations can be a strategy for the training of professionals in the cultural and social diversity of the Brazilian population. The practice of Popular Health Education (PHE) through university extension is one of the possibilities to foster dialogic interactions between teaching and the community and has been a space for the development of health education with social commitment. The Îandé Gûatá Extension Project was created in Paraíba in 2013, based on the principles of PHE and Popular Extension, focusing on the meeting between Potiguara indigenous people and Medical students. This study aimed to evaluate the learning built by this project students’ for their medical education. Method: Therefore, a qualitative approach research was developed through the analysis of discursive practices, using the talking circle technique at the end of the project cycle. To analyze the material, linguistic repertoires were identified from the subjects’ speech and three sets of meanings were built: extension university as a counter-hegemonic space of medical education; building skills for the future doctor; relations between health and culture in care. The linguistic repertoires were discussed based on theoretical references, such as popular health education, indigenous health and competences in medical education. Results: According to the students, this project allowed them gains in the attributes of: knowledge, as it allowed reflections, identification of gaps and greater understanding about the health-disease process in the context of the indigenous population; allowed gains in the ability of making and receiving criticism, teamwork and dialogue between different cultures; and allowed gains in attitudes, broadening the attitude of professionalism, the comprehension and performance on ethical issues and the construction of social commitment. Conclusion: Therefore, they highlight both the development of general competences for the future doctor, but also more specific ones, such as cultural competence. Moreover, the challenge of dialoguing in the polarity: aiming to reduce the distances within the same institutional space; cultural conflicts; and understanding and acting in an emancipatory education. This group of students wished, with the indigenous community, that these distances would be lessened, in a collective commitment aimed at producing change and social transformation.

BACKGROUND Medical education curriculum in India focuses on the clinical skills of the medical students as cornerstone, but patient and patient party dealings and to work as a member of health care provider team, one requires communication skills, interpersonal skills, management skills, professionalism and ethics. Teaching learning methods (TLM) for imparting module of professionalism and ethics have to be innovative and nonconventional also. In the present study, we tend to assess the effectiveness of exposure to realistic clinical scenarios in pathology department, in teaching medical ethics and professionalism, to undergraduate medical students. METHODS This is an experimental, interventional study that included 200 students. All have attended “just-in-time” lectures on attitude, communication, professionalism and ethics (AETCOM) delivered by faculties. After the 15 days of lecture session, all the students were assessed about their skill of AETCOM by conducting objective structured practical examination (OSPE). In the next phase exposure to realistic clinical scenarios in the Departmental laboratory of Pathology, under the guidance of faculties was also arranged. After the exposure session to real life scenario, all the students were assessed about their skill of AETCOM again by conducting OSPE and their performance was compared with the previous OSPE score. Feedback from the exposed students was also taken in prescribed proforma of 7-point Likert scale. RESULTS Mean pre exposure OSPE score was 18.66 and mean post exposure OSPE score was 27.22. The result shows that the difference was significant (P < 0.001). 38.5 % students were extremely satisfied with the experience of exposure to real life situation in pathology lab and 50 % students were very satisfied with the experience of exposure. In the present study, mean learning gain is 77 %. CONCLUSIONS Professionalism and ethics should neither be introduced in isolation from other medical graduation course contents nor be assessed so. It should be coherently assimilated with the current curriculum. KEYWORDS Communication Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Professionalism, Ethics, Teaching Learning Methods (TLM)

The need to form the communicative skills of applicants for higher education is determined by the requirements of the modern labor market, increasing requirements for the quality of education. Higher education institutions have all the potential to meet this challenge and cover the entire range of development of students communication skills and abilities in the learning process. The role of higher education institutions in training personnel to meet the needs of the labor market is not only to provide graduates with professional knowledge, skills and abilities, but also in the cross-cutting development of general, soft skills required for higher education applicants to adequately meet the challenges of today’s competitive world. We consider the formation of students’ communicative skills and abilities from the standpoint of the conceptual provisions of the competence-based approach in the modern educational paradigm. Pedagogical conditions and prospects for the formation of students communicative skills are associated with the development and implementation of appropriate activities in the educational process, reflecting the patterns, content, logic and structure of the development and improvement of students communicative potential. The study of the formation of students communication skills was based on the selection of significant indicators, which were measured using diagnostic techniques. The article reveals the possibilities of developing students communicative skills in the process of studying the interfaculty discipline «Generation X, Y, Z and the challenges of our time», taking into account innovative trends in modern higher education and with an emphasis on modeling situations that may arise in future professional activities in the system interaction of four generations.
