IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING CLINICAL THINKING COMPETENCIES IN FUTURE PHYSICIANS (BASED ON THE TEACHING OF ANATOMY)

This article examines the problem of developing clinical thinking competencies in future physicians through the teaching of
anatomy. The study focuses on improving anatomy teaching methods based on competency-based and clinically oriented
approaches. During the experimental study, clinical case-based tasks, problem-based questions, and interdisciplinary integration
elements were implemented. The findings demonstrate that a clinically oriented teaching methodology significantly enhances
students’ analytical thinking, clinical decision-making skills, and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical medical
situations. The results confirm the effectiveness of integrating clinically focused methods into anatomy education to improve the
quality of medical training.
