Prospects of application of the didactic interactive learning model for the development of clinical thinking

The problem of the formation of clinical thinking can be solved based on a didactic game as an innovative educational technology. The purpose of the proposed model of the didactic game «Clinical Thinking» is the development of clinical thinking among students of medical higher educational institutions. The game begins with the collection of complaints as an introduction and is carried out in 3 stages. The result of the first stage is the formulation of a preliminary diagnosis, the second – the formulation of the final diagnosis, the third – a discussion of treatment tactics or complications. When collecting complaints and anamnesis, students turn to the teacher as a patient. During the physical examination, specific questions are planned that can be answered in a monosyllabic way. In the second stage, diagnostic studies on the alleged disease are discussed. The third stage is aimed at developing the ability to determine the tactics of surgical or conservative treatment, after which they proceed to the analysis of the game. The game helps to increase the educational and professional motivation of students, the development of professional thinking, provides them with the freedom of educational and professional game actions.
