This article examines the pedagogical potential of using digital educational technologies in teaching medicinal chemistry. Particular attention is paid to the role of digital platforms, interactive simulators, and virtual laboratories in developing the professional competencies of medical students. It is shown that the use of digital tools increases motivation to study complex chemical processes, develops clinical thinking, critical analysis, and student independence. The paper analyzes the didactic advantages of integrating digital resources into the educational process, including learning flexibility, individualized learning paths, and the possibility of conducting remote practical classes. It is substantiated that digital technologies provide a new model of pedagogical interaction focused on active student participation and the development of a digital culture in future physicians.
