Axiological Foundations of Modern Medical Education

The article is devoted to the main components of axiology in modern medical education. The medical profession, like most modern fields of activity, is influenced by time, which changes not only the perception of the profession by others and professionals themselves, but also its legal field. All this is reflected in the content of education, ethical requirements for representatives of each profession. Medicine, including medical professions, is a branch of modern science that is significantly influenced by the changing world. Relatively recently, the medical profession was one of the most respected in the world, but recently attitudes towards medical professionals have begun to change; the media play a significant role in creating a negative image of the doctor. Of course, school graduates and future applicants are also affected by this, which leads to a distorted understanding of the value basis of the professional activity of a medical worker. In this regard, the need to study the axiological foundations of modern medical education is not in doubt. The purpose of this work is to determine the key axiological foundations of higher medical education in Russia. To achieve this purpose, the concepts of "value", "competence", "axiology" were analyzed, the characteristics were identified, and the connection between the axiological foundations of education and competencies (general cultural, professional, etc.), the formation of which is fixed by the Federal educational standard, was found. The conducted work allowed the authors to conclude that the basis of competencies are certain values, the inclusion of which in the educational process ensures the formation of the personality of a professionally accomplished person with high moral attitudes focused on universal and professional values. On the basis of the analysis of the correlation of competencies and axiological foundations of higher education marked by discipline, which described the role of the teacher in the development of the ideal physician, defines his professional objectives within the framework of value-oriented approach to education.
