The use of the "critical attack" method in distance learning of graduate course students of medical academy

The situation with Covid 2019 challenged the education system all over the world. It forced educators to shift to an online mode of teaching overnight [1]. Distance learning of students is the dominant method of organizing the educational process of medical students in the context of the coronavirus pandemic (Covid 19) [2]. Many academic institutions that were earlier reluctant to change their traditional pedagogical approach had no option but to shift entirely to online teaching–learning [2, 3]. Undoubtedly, mastering a number of competencies by future doctors is a difficult problem, due to the lack of the possibility of full-time training and examination of patients in a real hospital environment or in an outpatient setting. Of course, students have difficulties not only with mastering the skills and abilities of communicating with patients and their relatives, but also with the competence of critical assessment of the identified symptoms and syndromes of the disease, as well as diagnostic approaches and patient management algorithms [3]. In this regard, the use of some methods that have proven themselves in the process of full-time education, of course, with amendments to the conditions of distance education, seems especially relevant
