The development of medical genetics, which took place in the last decade, allows specialists to apply an individual approach to treatment considering the genetic characteristics of the patient
Aims: to conduct an analysis of the literature on the development of medical genetics and the use of its directions in diagnosis and treatment, as well as to clarify the ethical aspects of the introduction of genetics tools in medicine
Methodology: During the literature review, data analysis and summarization was carried out on the topic of the study using the PubMed medical search engine. The search for literary sources was limited to keywords on the research topic and covered the period 2019-2024.
Results: As a result of studying the literature, it was established that today the use of medical genetics methods is a promising direction that opens opportunities for the introduction of personalized medicine. Areas such as sequencing and genomics make it possible to study the structural and functional features of the patient's gene and help predict the development of genetic diseases, while pharmacogenomics and bioinformatics make it possible to model the effect of drugs.
Scientific Novelty: During the literature search, it was found that the implementation of medical genetics in treatment and diagnostics creates several issues related to the protection of personal data, as well as imperfect sequencing methods can cause diagnostic errors. It is important to ensure access to medical genetics methods for all population groups.
Conclusion: today society is on the threshold of a discovery in medicine, which relates to the introduction of medical genetics tools in diagnosis and treatment. The methods make it possible to treat a specific patient considering genetic characteristics, which improves diagnosis, reduces
the side effects of drugs and, in general, improves the results of treatment.

The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of distance learning for Ukrainian medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Universal and specific medical specialties problems of distance education isidentified. The research was specifically targeted attracking the dynamics of improving the conditions for implementing the educational process during the adaptation period of quarantine measures. The study involved content analysis, Computer Audio-Recorded Interviewing (CARI), face-to-face interviews, in-depth interviews, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results of empirical research. The model of two-stage diagnostics of the state of distance education in vocational medical colleges of Ukraine (2020-2021) is presented. The results of the linear experiment showed a positive trend in: the quality of the Internet and the workplace arrangement of medical students, special training in distance education technologies, the use of unified educational platforms, reduced stress level in students, and increased assessment objectivity. Stereotypes about distance education as forced and ineffective in the development of practical skills (remained steady). Online technologies in medical education require qualified scientific and methodological support for teaching
