TEACHING PHYSICS AT A MEDICAL UNIVERSITY: PROBLEMS AND APPROACHES TO SOLUTION
Abstract
The process of teaching physics at a medical university is developing within the framework of a fairly rigid modern educational paradigm. On the one hand, there is a steady reduction in the study time allotted to the academic discipline, both lecture hours and hours of practical training. On the other hand, the role and place of physics as the basis of radiation medicine in the health care system, and specifically in medical diagnostics, is constantly growing. In addition, modern physics, following in the wake of the advanced achievements of science and technology, is actively replenished with new technologies and teaching methods, which leads to a significant increase in the material required for assimilation. There is no doubt that this problem is not specific to physics and therefore its solution is not in the plane of increasing the volume of hours at the expense of other disciplines. Innovative approaches are required that take into account modern realities and general trends in the development of the educational process.
