The training of foreign specialists in the field of medicine is one of the priorities of the development of higher educational institutions of medical education today. The issue of maintaining the quality of educational services is particularly acute. The main difficulties in providing high-quality educational services to students of other countries are overcoming linguistic, cultural and traditional features and the need to adapt the educational process to the specified requirements. Therefore, it becomes necessary to analyze methodical and methodological approaches used in education and to establish their effectiveness and compliance with the specified requirements. The purpose of the study was to establish the conformity of the methodology of teaching human anatomy to foreign students at the Department of Human Anatomy, Clinical Anatomy and Operative Surgery of the Dnipro State Medical University with the modern needs of the educational process. This article highlights the peculiarities of methodological approaches to teaching human anatomy to foreign students, which are used at the Department of Human Anatomy, Clinical Anatomy and Operative Surgery of the Dnipro State Medical University. Also, in order to determine the effectiveness of mastering the material from the subject, the academic performance of students of the foreign faculty for 5 years was analyzed, taking into account the indicators of absolute and qualitative success according to standard ECTS criteria, which made it possible to assess the adequacy of methodological approaches and formulate recommendations for improving the effectiveness of education. Conclusion. Methodological approaches and measures introduced at the department are adequate and sufficient to achieve a fairly stable and high level of success among foreign students. The specified methodical approaches can be used both for face-to-face and distance learning without loss of quality, which is confirmed by the absence of significant deviations of quality indicators in any direction when switching from face-to-face to distance form and vice versa. In order to achieve high results, a consistent approach to the presentation of the material, full provision of students with methodical material, and the implementation of consistent, systematic and adequate methods of monitoring the assimilation of the material is necessary, which is especially relevant among students of foreign faculties. The overall success rate also largely depends on the basic training of students, which must be taken into account when selecting foreign students for universities
