Analysis of the teaching of genetics for junior students of Sechenov university

Abstract

The development of genetics has an increasing influence on modern medicine. Based on the achievements in the field of structural, functional genomics and epigenetics, new most promising directions have been formed - targeted therapy, personalized and regenerative medicine. There are fundamentally new opportunities for the diagnosis, prediction, prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. The increasing role of genetics imposes fundamentally different requirements for its teaching in medical Schools using new pedagogical methods. Simply increasing the number of academic hours in the subject “Biology” is no longer enough to train specialists whose professional activities are directly related to genetics: oncologists, virologists, immunologists, and many others.
