DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN FORMING THE PROFESSIONAL-ETHICAL CULTURE OF FUTURE PHYSICIANS
Abstract
The article is devoted to analyzing the issue of forming the professional and ethical culture of future doctors in Ukraine and globally in the context of contemporary challenges.The article aims to analyze Ukrainian and international experiences in developing future physicians’ professional and ethical culture, identify effective pedagogical strategies, and justify adaptive solutions for improving medical education in Ukraine. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: analysis of scientific literature on national and international approaches to ethical training in medicine, systematization of models of bioethical education, comparative examination of Ukrainian and foreign practices with identification of opportunities for their adaptation to the Ukrainian context, and synthesis of findings to propose promising directions for the development of ethical education in medicine.Results. The comparative analysis revealed a key issue in Ukrainian medical education – an overly theoretical approach to ethical training, with 60% of graduates reporting a deficiency in practical skills.In contrast, international practices demonstrate the effectiveness of simulation training (which increases empathy by 25–30%), virtual reality, and mentoring programs. Ukraine retains strong humanistic traditions, but the practical integration of bioethics remains insufficient. The article offers practical recommendations to enhance the ethical training of future doctors in Ukraine.Conclusions. The comparative examination of approaches to fostering the professional-ethical culture of future physicians demonstrated commonalities and distinctions influenced by financial resources and cultural contexts. Grounded in robust theoretical principles, Ukrainian medical education necessitates greater adoption of practice-focused bioethical training methods, validated by global practices. The proposed strategies for ethical training will contribute to shaping a new generation of Ukrainian physicians capable of competently addressing complex bioethical issues in modern medical practice. Future research should focus on examining the impact of innovative technologies on the development of ethical competencies, as well as exploring the relationship between professional burnout and adherence to ethical principles in medical practice.
