This article analyses the didactic importance of preparing medical education students for clinical processes from a scientific and pedagogical perspective. Clinical thinking, diagnostic analysis, The role of competency-based teaching, simulation-based exercises, problem-based scenarios and educational technologies integrated into clinical practice in fostering clinical thinking, diagnostic skills and practical competencies, as well as professional responsibility, is substantiated.
