Lazutkina E. A., Chernaya L.V., Gonokhova M.N., Avdeev D.B. FOREIGN STUDENTS AT THE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY: INTEGRATION INTO THE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTThe current international situation and the expansion of various kinds of ties with friendly countries contribute to the popularization of Russian education and an increase in the flow of foreign students to Russian universities. One of the prestigious areas that foreign students choose is medical education, which allows them to have a certain status in their country. To date, educational institutions for the training of medical personnel in our country offer a wide range of opportunities for students from other countries, which allows them to compete and attract foreign applicants. Omsk State Medical University is no exception, and interest in it is increasing every year. Of course, the influx of foreign students is of great positive importance for maintaining the status and international rating of the institution, but also poses certain difficulties. Both the university administration and the fundamental disciplines that students study in their first year face the problem of adaptation. It is their coordinated work that determines the formation of competencies and overcoming barriers. As part of the teaching of the basic discipline «Biology», foreign students are offered a number of adaptive methods for learning material that optimize the educational process and lead to successful communication between students and teachers. Foreign students are actively involved in academic and extracurricular activities and form interdisciplinary connections, which are the basis for professional competencies. Thanks to the comprehensive and step-by-step work on conducting a variety of educational and extracurricular activities, OmSMU teachers are able to successfully assist foreign students in overcoming adaptation difficulties, which in turn affects their successful assimilation of educational material. Various forms of classes, including within the framework of interdepartmental cooperation, are an important factor for the development of both fundamental and narrowly focused disciplines.Key words: teaching, foreign students, medical university, basic disciplines, adaptation, integration.
