Abstract: Today a doctor is supposed to fulfill the duties and correspond to all the requirements at a high professional level. It is possible only if all the necessary competences are formed in the course of study. Training of a competent doctor is a continuous and consistent process, as it is built on the general didactic principles: the use of visual aids and active involvement of the students and teachers. Every academic subject, including Chemistry, contributes to formation of professional competence of the specialist of the Ural State Medical University. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) allows to organize efficient study of Chemistry and follow the basic didactic principles. It should be mentioned that ICT are used in the department of General Chemistry and they help motivate all the students for highquality learning, which is the basis of their professional competence. Thus even freshmen show personal responsibility, commitment and independence. The Department of General Chemistry uses ICT in three main areas: test of knowledge, colloquium and student’s research work. This gives the students an opportunity to get the necessary knowledge of Chemistry, acquire the skills necessary for the profession and the abilities for the quantitative analysis. Besides, ICT contribute to the formation of professional competences of prospective doctors, such as literature analysis and collection of data (diagnostics and medical history), hypothesis introduction (provisional exclusion), theoretical and experimental test of the hypothesis, statistical processing of the experiment results, measurement errors analysis(confirmation of the diagnosis with the help of clinical facilities, methods and therapeutic intervention), verification of the hypothesis (the result of treatment and recommendations).
