Cherchyk N. Formation of bioethical culture of future medical assistants in the course of vocational training

The analysis of foreign and domestic pedagogical, psychological, medical, methodological and philosophical sources has shown that the problem of professional bioethical training of the future medical assistants is relevant and has a priority among the defining tasks of medical education in Ukraine. Bioethical theory and practice must more actively develop their sociocoregulatory component, which organically combines scientific-philosophical and medical-biological research and can act as an organizer and conductor of the latest civilizational mechanisms of social harmonization and safe transformation. There is every reason to believe that future medical assistants are not fully conversant with the basic principles of bioethics and are not adequately familiar with the rules and laws required for daily professional activities. Therefore, it is extremely important to teach the basics of bioethics in medical colleges and to develop systematic textbooks and manuals containing ethical, legal and legislative materials. A conscious perception of the categories of bioethics and the formation of a bioethical culture should be 8 considered as a required component in the formation of highly professional specialists.
