The emergence of e-learning platforms as a potential means of advancement is not new, but their use has increased significantly during the COVID-19 epidemic. Distance learning presents users with not only problems but also user-centered solutions. The purpose of this study is to review the literature on e-learning platforms used in medical schools to formulate a research strategy to implement an e-learning platform for surgical competency control. To achieve the objective, a search was conducted for articles cited in PubMed, Research Gate, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Scopus databases from journals and conference proceedings published between 2015 and 2023. Literature in the study area was systematized to explore the experiences of users of e-learning platforms in medical schools to provide a basis for a methodological framework. The proposed structure or content analysis model can be used for further e-learning research and guide the successful implementation of e-learning and surgical competency monitoring systems in medical HEIs. An important area of focus is the study of the advantages and disadvantages of specific e-learning methods, as their benefits have not been fully explored and are mainly related to e-learning platforms. Here we consider various features of e-learning in the context of its implementation in the system of medical education in Kazakhstan and other foreign countries.
