The process of training in a higher medical school involves not only acquisition of professional knowledge and skills, but also successful mastery of clinical thinking and the ability to communicate with patients. As a result, students can become qualified specialists in a certain area of medicine. Modern higher medical education requires higher students' motivation provided with the introduction of new teaching forms and methods into the educational process. The tendency to low proficiency level among young specialists, according to the works of many authors, was the reason for conducting an analysis of knowledge assessment on the propaedeutics of pediatrics among 6th-year students. To implement the assessment, the «Young Clinician» Competition for university graduates was held at the Department of Pediatric Diseases of Dnepropetrovsk Medical Academy. The competitors had to demonstrate their knowledge of child examination methods and semiotics of childhood diseases. The results obtained by students were highly correlated with their current performance. However, in general, the knowledge of semiotics turned out to be higher than the knowledge of child examination methods, which shows that it is necessary to enhance practical skills obtained in propaedeutics of pediatrics for senior students. The feedback received from the students after the competition proved that their interest was justified, and the results of the competition made us pay attention to problematic issues. A weighty problem that leads to deterioration in the mastering of patient's examination methodology is the reduction of hours in the discipline, which is unacceptable in this situation. The development and introduction of new teaching methods are necessary to increase students’ motivation in modern educational system, where the teacher’s personality plays an important role in teaching. The competition results will serve as the basis for further development of motivating programs for students in the department in order to attract more active students, thereby increasing interest in the discipline Author Biographies Svetlana Ilchenko, State Institution "Dnipropetrovsk Medical Academy of Ministry of Health of Ukraine" V.
