IMPROVING PROBLEM-BASED TEACHING METHODOLOGY OF ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTICS IN DEVELOPING CLINICAL THINKING AMONG MEDICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

This thesis focuses on improving the problem-based teaching methodology of ultrasound diagnostics in medical radiology education, aiming to develop innovative approaches for enhancing clinical thinking. The methodology is structured based on analyzing clinical situations, forming differential diagnosis skills, and developing independent decision-making abilities. The results demonstrated that students achieved significant progress in reducing diagnostic errors, conducting clinical discussions, and integrating ultrasound findings with other instrumental examinations. The scientific significance lies in creating a new pedagogical model for forming practice-oriented competencies in contemporary medical education.
