This article explores the critical role of didactic materials in the development of professional competencies among medical students specializing in infectious diseases. The study emphasizes the effectiveness of structured didactic resources such as algorithms, clinical cases, simulation technologies, and digital platforms in improving students’ diagnostic competence, clinical forecasting skills, and evidence-based therapeutic decision-making. By integrating innovative pedagogical tools with traditional learning methods, medical education can more effectively prepare future physicians for the complexities of diagnosing and managing infectious diseases. This approach not only enhances clinical reasoning and analytical thinking but also fosters reflective learning, professional responsibility, and interdisciplinary collaboration, which are essential for modern medical practice.
