EFFECTIVENESS OF FORMATION OF UNIVERSAL AND PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES OF DOCTORS-ORGANIZERS OF HEALTH CARE DURING DISTANCE LEARNING

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the formation of universal and professional competencies of doctors healthcare organizers during distance learning on training cycles. The objectives of the study included the development of an additional professional advanced training program "Organization of health care and public health" with the inclusion of a training module using distance learning technologies (DLT) "Development and implementation of a quality management system in a medical organization", development of a distance course "Organization of internal quality control and safety of medical activities" with an adapted system for assessing the level of competence formation in the form of test control and experimental verification of the effectiveness of the formation of universal and professional competencies of doctors healthcare organizers in distance learning in comparison with the traditional form in training cycles. Reliable results have been obtained on the effective formation of competencies both in traditional learning and in learning using DLT. The assessment of the reliability of the differences in test results after training between the experimental group, trained using DLT, and the control group, using the traditional form of training, was carried out. There were no statistically significant differences in test results between the compared groups. Thus, the results of the study indicate that the use of DLT in teaching and the education quality control system adapted to them makes it possible to effectively form the universal and professional competencies of doctors in the courses of advanced training. At the same time, mandatory preliminary measures should be taken, including the development of a professional development program with the inclusion of a distance learning module and the development of a distance course with an adapted knowledge control system.
