DISTANCE LEARNING IN THE CONDITIONS OF A MEDICAL UNIVERSITY
Today, distance learning is no longer surprising, most educational institutions of various levels in Russia and abroad use distance technologies in the pedagogical process to one degree or another. Many students today consider this form of education as an alternative to the usual one, not only when receiving a second education, advanced training, but also choose this method for obtaining a first higher education. There is no escape from modern trends, and many universities understand this and are trying to develop in this direction. It is correct to say "distance learning" and not "distance education", because it is just a different way of forming a student's knowledge and skills, while the content of education remains unchanged. Medical education is a complex thing that requires a lot of energy, time and money, as well as certain practical skills, so the possibilities of distance learning in this regard are very limited. Such training is suitable only for professionals who want to improve their qualifications, especially when it comes to medical and diagnostic professions, or for future pharmacists, whose occupation is inextricably linked with medicine, but is still a separate field.
