Summary/Abstract: The article presents the possibility of significantly increasing the quality of the learning process by using innovative tools in the students' curriculum. Modern technologies have the potential to help create quality lasting knowledge in learners. An entrance test was made to establish the knowledge the students had before the training. The group of student volunteers was then randomly divided into two groups: a control group that was trained using traditional methods (giving a lecture) and an experimental group that was trained using the innovative training methodology created. A study of the acquired knowledge of the two studied groups was carried out according to a previously prepared test and knowledge assessment methodology. The degree of assimilation of new knowledge was assessed by absorption rate and a comparison was made between the studied groups of students. The study shows a significantly better acquisition of the learning material by the students whose education included innovative means of the studied subject. The obtained results show that modern innovative interactive technologies can be used in the educational process of health care students, as a supplement and continuation of classical pedagogical methods.
