Ensuring quality higher education in Ukraine is a key moment for further existence of national educational space. Continuous social, economic, and political changes occurring in contemporary life of Ukrainians stipulate the development of socially dangerous phenomena in our society. Pandemics caused by СОVID-19 in the world and Ukraine as well promoted a number of changes in the system of educational services in general and in medical education in particular. Unfortunately, more serious problem contributes to the situation – the beginning of full-scale military aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine in February 2022. The need to create safe learning conditions for participants of the educational process has become of great priority. All the above facts stipulated transition to distance learning at educational institutions.In distance learning conditions, it is important to use various methods of teaching in order to involve students effectively. It can include virtual lectures, interactive online modules, discussion forums and practical thematic research. Involvement of practical examples and scenarios from real life can help students better understand value of Pharmacology for their further dental practice.Objective of the research is to demonstrate our own experience of teaching Pharmacology in training future dentists in distance learning conditions with formation of a healthy lifestyle on the example of learning the topic “Analgesics”.Results. When it concerns promoting a healthy lifestyle among future dentists, awareness of students in the issues of Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of analgesics and their side effects will help in the formation of healthy lifestyle among young people, which is an essential part of the future of any country. Understanding the value of “old medicines” as prototypes of modern mono- and poly-component medical agents, explaining the results of one’s own scientific studies on establishing pharmacotherapeutic effects of new compounds, or extending the spectrum of action of known medicine, make up the basis for acquiring knowledge in Pharmacology and formation further clinical thinking at the present stage of education.Conclusions. The article presents our own experience of teaching Pharmacology in training dentists in distance learning conditions with the formation of their healthy lifestyle. Current distance learning technologies using up-to-date digital platforms, high quality contents of educational resources, implementation of an effective system in testing the knowledge obtained enable to adapt to modern realities of the educational process.
