The progressive increase in the amount of information dictates serious tasks for the higher medical education system to improve the educational process, improve the quality of education, and introduce modern information technologies into the educational process of students (multimedia presentations of lectures and student abstracts; electronic educational resources; information support for the discipline). Pharmacology is one of the key disciplines in medical and pharmaceutical education. Traditional teaching methods, such as lectures and seminars, do not always provide a sufficient level of practical training for students. In order to improve the quality of student training in the academic discipline «Pharmacology», information technologies are being introduced at the Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Evidence-based Medicine of Karaganda Medical University NC JSC. The use of information technology in the educational process increases the effectiveness of the study of pharmacology, leads to improved quality training of future specialists. This concept of the educational process allows creating conditions for the development of motivation and interest in the study of pharmacology. Horizons and awareness are expanding, such intellectual functions as analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization, and comparison are developing. In this regard, there is the increasing interest in active teaching methods, among which the case study method occupies a special place. The case study method is widely used in medical education to form clinical thinking and decision-making skills. The case study method is based on the analysis of specific clinical cases, which contributes to the development of analytical thinking, decision-making ability and the application of theoretical knowledge in practice. This article discusses the possibilities of using the case study method in teaching pharmacology, its advantages, disadvantages and examples of successful implementation.
