Abstract
The educational process is a significant part of specialists' formation in medicine, including dentistry. Seekers of medical education in universities need the support and guidance of highly specialized teachers for their future realization as professionals. However, it is equally important for the students to be interested in successfully mastering the disciplines in different ways, from classroom work to independent projects. On the difficult student path of becoming a dentist, a teacher who can direct their ward in the right direction in the field of dental practice play a considerable role. Additionally, it is important to provide students with a high-quality theoretical base in university departments, modern clinical equipment for polishing professional practical skills, and constant support in the form of consultations, lectures, and master classes from leading specialists of the higher education institution. General medical disciplines are also a significant component of the educational program of dental students, as these subjects provide basic medical knowledge. Without mastering the materials of these disciplines, it will be difficult for the future dentist to integrate into the general field of medical practice. To fully understand and assimilate the material and topics during the lectures and classes, students need to be interested in learning more than what is prescribed in the curriculum of the educational program of the dental specialty; since this area of medicine is undergoing rapid development today. Therefore, such a type of activity as independent work is introduced in the student's curriculum. This type of work for students majorly contributes to improving discipline on the one hand and increases the ability of clinical thinking of future dentists on the other. The article is written in the form of a short scientific report.
Keywords: clinical practice, independent work, practical skills, education seeker, practical classes.
