This article considers the problem of realization of the Olympiad movement in higher education institution. The main subject of discussion in the article is the use of Olympiads in medical school as the most effective way to form universal competencies of undergraduate and graduate students. The aim of this paper was to describe the preparation and conduct of the Olympiad "School of Leadership in Health Care" by the Departments of Public Health and Public Health and Pedagogy and Psychology, aimed at the formation and quality control of universal competencies, such as: the ability to carry out a critical analysis of problem situations; the ability to manage the project at all stages of its life cycle; the ability to organize and manage the work of the team, developing a team strategy to achieve the goal; According to the data of psychological and pedagogical studies of the Olympiad movement in medical universities, the authors note that the relevance of the application of the Olympiad lies in the opportunity for undergraduates and graduate students not only to improve their knowledge in a particular specialty, but also to develop the ability to communicate and teamwork, to obtain practical skills and abilities. In addition, participation in the student Olympiad provides students with a number of advantages: portfolio replenishment, additional points when entering residency or postgraduate studies in a specialty. Our study is based on the competence and activity approaches. We use theoretical methods: analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature, systematization, generalization; empirical methods: diagnostic (observation, survey); prognostic (expert evaluation). In accordance with the goal of our study, the authors determined that participation in the Olympiad movement allows undergraduate and graduate students to learn to interact with each other, which contributes to the formation of universal competencies within the competence-based approach; competence-based technologies in medical school contribute to the development and consolidation of leadership skills necessary for future health care organizers to make effective decisions; improving the training of specialists with higher education.
