INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS FOR ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE IN MEDICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Therefore, the quality training of future physicians who are capable of timely diagnosis and effective treatment of this condition is of particular importance. Modern medical education requires the integration of innovative teaching methods aimed at developing clinical thinking, practical skills, and the ability to make informed decisions in settings that closely simulate real clinical practice. Interactive technologies, simulation-based learning, virtual patients, problem-based learning (PBL), and case-based teaching have become integral elements of the educational process in the training of cardiology specialists. The implementation of these approaches not only enhances students’ motivation but also ensures a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment principles of ischemic heart disease. The aim of this article is to review and analyze innovative teaching methods for IHD in medical education and to assess their effectiveness and prospects for further development.
