The article presents the experience of teachers in the training of future midwives and nurses and substantiates the need to use modern educational technologies in the educational process. Currently, the problem of training highly professional and competitive medical workers with secondary medical education in the labor market is becoming particularly relevant, since the requirements for the level of professional knowledge, skills and abilities of medical personnel are increasing every year. The main task of a teacher is not a simple transfer of knowledge, but the motivation of students to take initiative and find ways to apply the knowledge gained in solving various problematic tasks, the formation of a specialist’s personality capable of constant self-development. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that today’s students are representatives of the “digital generation”. These are people who cannot imagine themselves without the Internet, smartphone and social networks. “Buzzers” are more difficult to assimilate and remember information, because all the information is on the Internet. Many students do not know how to build and ask questions based on the material they have read. In the classroom, the teacher must comprehensively ensure the quality of the educational process using modern information technologies and active learning methods based on the principles of “learning through action”, which necessarily imply the development of independence for students. The more active the learning process, the more zoomers are involved in it. The insertion technique or technology of active reading helps students to understand, comprehend and remember the information received. The use of various technologies in practical classes in obstetrics and gynecology that immerse students in professional activities, such as: solving situational problems, case-study, performing manipulations according to an algorithm, conducting role-playing games and lesson conferences, allows you to set an incentive and simulate the conditions for the formation of a specialist’s personality in teaching a future profession. The participation of students in the organization and conduct of role-playing games increases their creative activity, contributes to the formation of professional and communicative competencies. The modern educational technologies used by us in the educational process make it possible to lay the foundation for the professional competence of a specialist, to activate the cognitive activity of students, making them active participants in the educational process, which contributes to improving the effectiveness of professional training.
