Abstract

Modern solutions in the field of information and communication technologies, which are now widely used to solve the problems of Russian healthcare and medical care, qualitatively change approaches to the training of medical students and require the development of new competencies and skills in the use of IT and telemedicine technologies. Material and methods. A pilot (search) investigation was conducted using a survey of students of the Ryazan State Medical University (2022 n=128) and (2023 n=135) according to the author's methodology (questionnaire) using GoogleForm, which made it possible to compare the results obtained over two periods. Results. The analysis of the need to develop competencies in the application of new ICT solutions in medicine was carried out and the attitude of medical university students to the use of ICT in the provision of medical services, in general, and the attitude to TM, in particular, was studied. The majority of respondents are ready to give up part of routine operations to information technologies in medicine, for example, preliminary appointment, discharge of certificates and sick leave, holding teleconferences. Moreover, the students pointed out the latter opportunity as a means of obtaining new and in-demand competencies for training, consulting and obtaining knowledge. In 2023, more than half of those who agree to primary consultations with the use of TM technologies became. Discussion. The rapid penetration of IT into healthcare not only as an auxiliary tool, but also at the level of decision-making systems (diagnosis) using artificial intelligence requires a qualitative change in the process of training medical personnel. The answers received in the analyzed survey showed that a significant number of students surveyed Positively assess the possibility of using IT and TM in providing medical care. Active re-equipment and changes in the work regulations (electronic doctor's appointment, electronic queue, electronic sick lists, prescriptions, test results, etc.) of primary and secondary health care units require a change in the training formats of future medical specialists. Conclusion. In the future, it is necessary to implement a full-scale study on the attitude and perception of the modern generation of new realities in the field of medicine and IT, which are associated with improving the quality and efficiency of medical care, in the formation of new knowledge among specialists in medicine, creating in-demand areas of training and solving strategic tasks for the development of Russian society.
