Annotation:
The article presents modern methodological approaches and pedagogical solutions applied in the train- ing of 6th-year medical students within the elective course “Minimally Invasive Urology.” The key factors influencing the effective acquisition of theoretical knowledge and the development of practical skills in endoscopic, percutaneous, and laparoscopic techniques essential for the professional activities of general practitioners, urologists, surgeons, and related specialists are analyzed. The study is based on an examination of educational and methodological materials, current scientific sources, and the authors’ pedagogical experience. The article describes the educational formats, simulation technologies, and interactive teaching methods implemented at the Department of Surgery No. 1 with Urology and Minimally Invasive Surgery of I. Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, as well as the approaches used to assess students’ learning outcomes. The primary goal of teaching the course “Minimally Invasive Urology” is to develop in students a comprehensive system of knowledge and practical skills required for the safe performance of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in accordance with contemporary requirements and international standards of minimally invasive urological practice. The proposed methodological model contributes to improving the organization of the educational process, facilitates the effective formation of professional competencies, and enhances students’ overall mastery of the discipline.
