AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING THE TECHNOLOGY OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF DRUGS

Abstract

Summary. The importance of the interdisciplinary approach in teaching the professional discipline «Technology of medicinal products of industrial production», which is a key element of the modern paradigm of higher medical and pharmaceutical education, is analyzed. It has been established that the integration of knowledge from chemistry, biology, pharmacology, engineering and economics forms systemic thinking and contributes to the development of professional competence of future specialists. The influence of the interdisciplinary approach on improving the quality of personnel training adapted to the rapidly changing requirements of pharmaceutical production and the modern labor market is revealed.

The key pedagogical tools that ensure the effective implementation of an interdisciplinary approach in the educational process have been identified.

Such tools include project-oriented learning, which promotes the development of skills for analyzing and solving complex tasks, simulation of production processes that simulate real working conditions in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as team case tasks that stimulate collaborative thinking, professional interaction and integration of knowledge from different disciplines.

Practical cases and learning models that provide a connection between theory and practice are highlighted. The use of modern educational technologies to improve the professional competence of students is motivated.

Recommendations for the integration of an interdisciplinary approach into educational programs, as well as methodical approaches for their adaptation to the modern challenges of pharmaceutical production, have been developed. The experience of using the interdisciplinary approach in foreign education is summarized and its application in the national context is proposed. It is recommended to implement joint educational projects and master classes with the participation of representatives of the pharmaceutical industry. The prospects for improving the educational process, taking into account the requirements of the labor market, are summarized.
