Object of research: natural science education of future doctors in higher educational institutions; subject of research: pedagogical conditions for the formation of the research competence of future doctors in the process of studying natural disciplines in higher educational institutions; the aim of the research: lies in the theoretical justification and experimental verification of the technological model for the formation of research competence of future doctors in the process of studying natural disciplines; research methods: theoretical (system-functional analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, systematization, analogies, modeling) empirical (psycho-pedagogical diagnostic methods (questioning, interviews, testing, observation, interview), method of peer reviews, pedagogical experiment); statistical (quantitative and qualitative analysis of data using mathematical statistics methods followed by their qualitative interpretation and meaningful generalization, in order to verify the compliance of the experimental research data and to ensure the reliability and establishment of their statistical significance); scientific novelty: for the first time, a technological model has been developed for forming the research competence of future doctors in the process of studying natural disciplines, which includes: the interaction of the subjects of the educational process, the pedagogical conditions (the creation of an educational environment, the research orientation of the content of natural disciplines, the structural and step-by-step organization of the formation of research competence of future doctors) formation of research competence of future doctors; bots in each stage, subject to certain conditions, institutional forms, methods, means, techniques for working; Structural components of research competence (motivation and stimulation of activity, organization of cognitive activity, coordinating, communicative) are identified; criteria (motivational, organizational, coordinating, communicative) and levels (fragmentary, reproductive, partially exploratory, research) of the formation of research competence; the essence of the concept of "research competence" of future doctors is clarified, by which we understand activity, which is a means of obtaining new knowledge, a way of searching for and building new knowledge and the formation of new experiences, a basis for the development of other specific and subject-oriented competencies, as it helps the student learn, allows him to become more flexible, competitive, helps to be successful in later life, which determines the significance of its formation. Further development was given to the forms, methods and means of forming research competence in the university using the research work of the university.
