The purpose of the study was to determine the peculiarities of the use of the methodology of teaching the discipline and ways to further improve the teaching of the discipline "Neurology" to foreign students. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study is the analysis of the peculiarities of the application of innovative teaching methods in teaching the cycle "Neurology" to foreign students. Results and discussion. To date, the most important task facing higher education is to improve the quality of training of medical professionals. An important requirement for the professional development of a student of a medical school in education is the formation of independence, initiative, creativity, competitiveness. In the presence of such qualities, the student can be realized in the future in the profession, in the labor market, having a very high level of motivation to achieve professional success. The processes of globalization largely affect the education system. The education of foreign students at the Dnipro State Medical University is an important component that reflects the international status and competitiveness of the institution in the world market. Medical students must acquire knowledge in specialized subjects, be able to apply the acquired knowledge in practical classes, master various teaching methods, as well as show interest in new scientific developments, thereby improving their educational and professional level. The study found that given the current stages of modernization of education it is important to implement a methodological restructuring of the educational process of higher education, which will be aimed at personal development of students, the formation of key and subject competencies. Competence approach in the discipline of "Neurology" for the preparation of foreign students of the Dnipro State Medical University should be implemented using not only methodological support in the form of materials for preparation for practical classes, lecture presentations, methodological developments for students, algorithms of practical skills, test sets, methodical developments for teachers, but also by increasing the role of independent training of students, which makes it possible to rationally organize and increase the effectiveness of training of foreign medical students. Conclusion. The range of teaching methods of higher medical education combines classic and innovative areas of study of foreign students, which contributes to the rational use of different ways to optimize the educational process, enhance cognitive activity, clinical thinking in students, and achieves the ultimate goal – training highly qualified specialist. In the future it is planned to improve the educational process, the opportunity for students to prepare thematic presentations in the form of multimedia presentations from various sections of neurology and present the prepared material in practical classes

COVID-19 is an urgent problem all over the world that affects not only the respiratory system, but also causes many neurological disorders. In connection with the clinical manifestations of COVID-19, further detailed study of neurological complications is required, such as ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, damage to the peripheral nervous system, and inflammatory diseases of the brain. Some neurological symptoms after an illness may persist for several weeks or even months. Hemorrhagic encephalitis is one such complication of COVID-19. Taking into account the growth of COVID-19 and frequent neurological complications after a previous illness, more and more often patients will seek medical help from a specialist, such as a neurologist, psychologist, psychiatrist. The only protection against COVID-19, which causes serious complications, is vaccination. The purpose of the study was to highlight a rare case of hemorrhagic encephalitis, which developed against the background of the previous COVID-19 disease. Materials and methods. The work is based on a description of a clinical case of hemorrhagic encephalitis in a patient who has undergone COVID-19. The modern literature data on the clinical and diagnostic features and therapeutic possibilities of hemorrhagic encephalitis are presented. Results and discussion. The article examines data on the clinical manifestations of COVID-19, which can occur in both mild and severe forms, reflects the diagnostic criteria of this disease, highlights treatment approaches, discusses in detail and provides data on the main aspects of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying development of the disease. Complications of COVID-19 have been described, not only from the central and peripheral nervous system, but also from other systems. The second part of the article is presented in the form of a clinical case of hemorrhagic encephalitis against the background of the undergone COVID-19, which was recorded in our hospital. This part of the article describes in detail the patient's complaints and anamnestic data, the data of the somatic and neurological examination at the time of admission to the hospital and in dynamics, and describes the treatment tactics. Attention is especially focused on the cognitive functions of this patient, which will become the reason for seeing a psychiatrist in the future. Conclusion. Neurological complications of COVID-19 are increasingly registered, requiring close attention from neurologists. Hemorrhagic encephalitis can be one of these complications
