The purpose of the study is to analyse the current level of use of information technology in medical universities, as well as to investigate experience from other countries and consequently to design promising methods for enhancing the role of such technologies in training specialists in the field of medicine. After the study conducted, the following results were obtained, namely theoretical and practical statements on the issue. Thus, in the theoretical component, the concept of information technologies has been revealed and their impact on the efficiency of the learning process, particularly in medical universities, has been determined. In terms of the practical framework, it analyses international experience and identifies the main advantages arising from the use of modern programmes in the course of medical education. When it comes to the practical value of the study, it lies in the fact that it can be used not only by teachers, when designing curricula, but also by students during their studies, to facilitate and even accelerate them to a certain extent.
