Summary/Abstract: The issue of training specialists in therapy and rehabilitation is especially relevant in today’s realities, as the demand for professional specialists in this cluster of medicine is constantly growing. Higher medical education institutions are faced with the need to quickly streamline the teaching and methodological arsenal to meet the standards of the educational and professional program. The purpose of the scientific research is to highlight the specifics of organizational and methodological support of the educational process for students majoring in «Therapy and Rehabilitation». The objectives of the study are to find a balance between traditional and innovative dimensions of teaching and learning support in the modern paradigm of higher medical education. The methodology used in writing the article is focused on the general scientific methodological segment. The analytical dimension has formed the dominant methodological approach, providing generalization of the data obtained and comparison within the educational process in a higher medical education institution. The elaboration of prospects for the development of educational and scientific activity involves the application of the scientific and philosophical principle of synergy. The results of the study indicate a gradual transformation of the matrix of competencies in theoretical disciplines taught to rehabilitation therapists. The traditional dominance of fundamental skills is losing its relevance due to the dynamism of socio-cultural changes that radically alter the understanding of the principles of treatment and recovery. The biopsychosocial model of therapeutic and rehabilitation activity necessitates new knowledge and skills that are formed when studying the theoretical cluster of the educational program. Soft-skills, live-skills, digital-skills are the usual list of professional competencies of a modern rehabilitation therapist. Disciplines of theoretical profile become an educational space in which a higher education student forms the necessary arsenal of knowledge, skills and abilities. Prospects for the study are the development of interdisciplinary programs that will integrate the potential of several related disciplines, forming universal competencies. The experience of egrotherapy has demonstrated the effectiveness of using interdisciplinarity in the practical segment of training. The interdisciplinary paradigm in theoretical training is relevant for the therapy and rehabilitation cluster. Thus, the organizational and methodological support of teaching theoretical disciplines to students majoring in «Therapy and Rehabilitation» is constantly changing under the influence of socio-cultural factors. The biopsychosocial model of the medical paradigm of our time provides for the expansion of the competencies of a therapist-rehabilitator, which necessitates the acquisition of flexibility and versatility of professional skills.
