The aim of the work is a comprehensive assessment of the teaching quality at the Department of Internal Medicine №1 of the Poltava State Medical University. The assessment of monitoring was an anonymous online survey of VI year education medical students that was trained at the modules “Current practice of internal medicine” and “Emergency conditions in the clinic of Internal Medicine” in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was shown that, despite the greatest difficulty of the “Cardiology” and “Hematology” cycles, the overall assessment of the teaching availability for all cycles was 4,16±0,416 points and the value of any cycle was not lower than 4 (5-point system). Given the conditions of distance learning in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 the average score of student satisfaction with the skills acquired was 3.59 ± 0.593. Students noted that the most difficult mastering practical skills were on the “Emergency” (16.14%) and “Cardiology” (15.18%) cycles. This indicates that any cases, situational tasks, demonstration videos can’t replace live communication with the patient, under the guidance of a teacher-mentor, work with modern equipment and simulators. These results reflect that students need bedside teaching activities on patients’ experiences with teacher-mentor. A targeted approach to teaching and evaluating the learning process encourages feedback from students to improve the quality of educational services. Thus, the data allow us to analyze the effectiveness of distance educational quality using anonymous questionnaires, to get feedback and respond to the identified shortcomings.
