Reforms realized in Ukraine significantly change the nature of the work of specialists in many areas of human activity, including in medicine. A modern specialist should not only be aware of his right, but also have an organizing skills and be creative. A background for fulfilling this requirement is the wide involvement of students of higher educational institutions (especially medical ones) in research work, their direct inclusion in the sphere of the scientific life.

Organization of research activities of students is impossible without observation to the principles of education and upbringing. Studies are conducted on the basis of the Cherkassy Medical Academy, allow to distinguish and identify the most important ones, which formulate the professional competence of future healthcare workers. We consider it to divide these rules into general pedagogical, didactic and the principles that teachers are guided organizing work on chemical disciplines. Chemistry in a medical school is one of the fundamental sciences in preparing students for the study of special medical disciplines. Therefore, it is important to lay students, basic, initial skills in search, scientific activity in the study of chemistry. Traditional principles of didactics are the basis of studying all disciplines, and also have to regulate the organizational foundations of the educational process at different levels. Principles, which are governing work in the study of chemical disciplines, help students to master natural sciences and prepare for the study of special medical disciplines.
