Organizational and managerial aspects of the introduction of innovative diagnostic and treatment methods in higher medical education

Abstract

This study is devoted to the analysis of organizational and managerial factors influencing the effectiveness of the introduction of innovative diagnostic and treatment methods into the system of higher medical education. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to find optimal models for managing the educational process in the context of the rapid development of medical technologies. The aim of the work is to identify key barriers and drivers of innovation in the educational practice of medical universities, as well as to develop recommendations for improving management approaches. The research methodology includes desk analysis of scientific literature, expert interviews with representatives of university administrations (n=25), a survey of teachers (n=120) and students (n=450). The results show that the main obstacles to innovation are lack of funding (78% of experts noted), insufficient qualifications of teachers (65%), and bureaucratic barriers (58%). At the same time, the key success factors were recognized by the university leadership (88%), the involvement of teachers in the process of change (83%), and partnership with leading clinics (75%). A conceptual model of innovation management in medical education is proposed, based on the principles of project management and taking into account the specifics of the industry. The results obtained are important for optimizing the processes of training qualified medical personnel and improving the quality of medical care to the population.
