Popis: Applicants for higher medical education usually demonstrate a highly developed logical and abstract thinking and the ability to control their own mental processes effectively. However, some of them, due to not fully formed certain personality traits (willingness to learn, ability to learn independently, the ability to control themselves and their emotions and properly distribute learning and free time) do not always successfully master new knowledge and skills. The training course of students who have got a diploma of a junior specialist and then enter medical universities in the specialty "Dentistry", lasts four years, a shorter term compared with applicants applying after high schools because a range of disciplines delivered at medical colleges should no be retaken. Students with statutory term of training demonstrate better and faster adaptation to university routine compared with freshmen who enter universities after the school graduation. Students who have graduated from medical colleges have a background including basic professional knowledge, which facilitates the process of their adaptation to learning. At each department of the university, educational materials essential for the hight quality training are available on the websites of the departments and are used for classroom activities, students’ independent and individual work. Depending on the direction of specialization of the departments, students are provided with relevant knowledge, skills and abilities. At the departments of morphological profile, the students learn different levels of living organization, biological phenomena and processes, the structure and functions of individual organs, systems and the human body in health and in the development of pathological processes; they are trained to apply acquired knowledge in further learning and future practice. Much attention is paid to the study of the fundamentals of histology and embryology of the head, neck, and oral cavity, the emergence of possible disorders, macroand microscopic structure of tooth structures, functions, timing of eruption, disease prevention and treatment. The purpose of training at clinical departments is to apply theoretical knowledge for mastering practical skills of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of dental diseases and preparation of students for independent professional activity. The organization of the educational process for students at the Faculty of Dentistry with a statutory term of training in medical universities is aimed at implementing the principles of the competency approach and focuses on the ultimate goals of the educational process, consisting in the preparation for professional activities in dental care settings.
