Abstract

A modern university is a place where meanings are created. These meanings are transmitted primarily through the university's website, through social networks, where the university is represented. To put it in marketing terms, it is through digital resources that the university is looking for clients-students. And this is where educational, scientific, and commercial interests intersect, which makes it fundamentally important to universalize ethical requirements for all participants in this process. At the same time, digital transformation is becoming an objective necessity for the development of education and the formation of a client base for the future, as well as for maintaining contacts with students' parents and graduates. And it is those universities that get involved in this process faster and better that will benefit. The university's website is the main resource where its meanings are broadcast and moral stories are objectified. Aim: to clarify the concept of digitalization of medical education as an international phenomenon regulated by general ethical and social requirements. To date, there is no universally accepted definition of such a concept as digitalization of medical education, since this term is a rather complex multifaceted phenomenon.

We are considering medical education, the possibility of obtaining it using digital technologies, analyzing the volume of built-in digital education, its feasibility and relevance. The website is the main resource of the university in terms of marketing, information, education and regulatory regulation of the entire learning process. Special requirements are imposed on its form and content in the situation of teaching medical students in a foreign language environment.
