Abstract

The article discusses assimilation of medical terminology among medical university students studying the discipline “Pathophysiology.” The Latin language with medical terminology is used as a universal specific tool for communication of specialists in the medical and biological profile and as an international scientific language. The paper highlights issues of assimilation and quality of memorization of medical terminology on the topic of “Inflammation” in medical university students. The authors believe that the quality and time spent on the study of medical terminology significantly affects its further active use in the professional activity of a doctor. The main problem of mastering the Latin language with medical terminology and its use in the discipline “Pathophysiology” is to reduce the hours of practical classes in these subjects. In this regard, it is necessary to carefully analyze the situation that has arisen with the identification of the causes and ways to solve the problem with the revision of the RUPS of these disciplines in the direction of increasing the hours of practical classes and SRS.
