Experience of organizing specific medical classes at Omsk state medical university in general educational organizations

In this article, the authors presented certain results of activities on current aspects of training future medical university applicants in general education organizations in Omsk (using the example of the Omsk Gymnasium No. 139). A definition is given to the concept of specialized education (Article 2, Clause 25 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” dated December 29, 2012 No. 273), “...the focus (profile) of education is the orientation of the educational program towards specific areas of knowledge and (or) types of activities, determining its subject-thematic content, the predominant types of educational activity of the student and the requirements for the results of mastering the educational program”1. The purpose of this work was to describe the results and prospects of organizing specialized medical classes in an educational organization, which provide the prospect of increasing applicants to a medical university. In the article, the authors tried to answer the questions: How ready is the department of normal physiology of a medical university to implement specialized training in an educational organization in Omsk? What work training programs most effectively implement the professional orientation of students in educational organizations? A number of studies conducted at the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Advanced Vocational Education together with the Department of Normal Physiology indicate that university applicants have a number of knowledge deficits that make it difficult to successfully pass the Unified State Exam in biology. The reasons for these deficits are varied, since the training of students in schools, lyceums, gymnasiums, etc. is different. The work was based on regulatory documents, such as Federal Law dated December 29, 2012 №273-FZ (as amended on December 25, 2023) “On Education in the Russian Federation” (as amended and supplemented, entered into force on May 1, 2024) 1; Order of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation of July 18, 2002 № 2783 “On approval of the Concept of specialized training at the senior level of general education”; “Strategic priorities in the implementation of the state program of the Russian Federation “Development of Education” until 2030” 2; Regulation P-243-2023 “On specialized medical classes (OmSMU)”, which normatively describes the process of organizing “… specialized (medical) classes, which are formed at the level of secondary general education in agreement with the founder of a general educational institution (hereinafter - OOU). The purpose of training in a specialized (medical) class is indicated – indepth training in natural science subjects with pre-professional training in medical specialties, professional guidance for students for admission to Omsk State Medical University”3.
