This article analyzes the theoretical and pedagogical foundations for introducing the credit-module system in higher medical education institutions, the experiences of foreign countries, and the current state of the system in the higher medical education institutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Additionally, an author-developed technology aimed at enhancing the pedagogical effectiveness of the credit-module system is presented, and the mechanisms for its practical implementation are thoroughly substantiated. In higher medical education, the credit-module system is not merely an assessment method but a key driver in developing the independent thinking and practical skills of future physicians.
