TRAINING OF DENTAL STUDENTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF TODAY'S GLOBAL CHALLENGES

The purpose of the work is to determine the problems of training medical students who study in the specialty "Dentistry" at specialized departments in the conditions of today's global challenges. Main part. The difficulty of training medical students in today's global conditions is the need to carry out educational and cognitive activities under new conditions. The replacement of the informational approach of educational programs from dental disciplines to a competency-based one involves the formation of the student's readiness to use the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities to solve practical tasks in the process of further professional activity. Therefore, in today's conditions, a practically-oriented approach among dental students is the most necessary. This is ensured by the discrete presentation of the material, increasing the visibility of the educational process, and the involvement of simulation technologies for mastering practical skills
