The article examines current trends and directions in the modernization of curricula and teaching methods in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Based on the analysis of domestic and international sci- entific sources, the essence of the competency-based approach is revealed, emphasizing the formation of integrated professional, communicative, and digital competencies among future and practicing physicians. The study highlights the implementation of innovative educational technologies, including simulation-based, problem-oriented, distance, and blended learning, which contribute to improving the effectiveness of medical training. Special attention is given to the transformation of the postgraduate medical education system in Ukraine, particularly the renewal of curricula in accordance with international standards, the development of digital learning platforms, the improvement of assessment systems, and the creation of individualized learning trajectories for students. Practical examples of medical universities’ efforts to adapt the educational process to modern labor market demands and global healthcare challenges are presented.
