The most common pedagogical innovations are considered: digital textbooks and multimedia, simulation modeling, virtual learning environment and augmented reality, cloud technologies, gamification and artificial intelligence. It is noted that application of digital technologies is seen as constant of future professional education. However, current practice of digitization of educational process of training medical personnel is ambiguous and requires careful study and constant monitoring in order to determine main advantages of digital technologies, methods, didactic practices and other elements ensuring quality and effectiveness of the educational process.professional trainingeducationmedical personnelinnovationdigital technologiesпрофессиональная подготовкаобразованиемедицинские кадрыинновациицифровые технологии[Tudor Car L., Soong A., Kyaw B.
