Abstract: Modern society has a high demand in experts who are flexible at constructing efficient strategies of professional self-improvement. Health education is aimed at the standard competence model that does not fully take into account education predication objectives contributing to would-be medics' readiness to respond to the modern society's challenges. To the authors' opinion, moden education is not adequately oriented at the preduction model of training their graduates to build a clear strategy of professional self-improvement which would allow them to be able to meet competitions and demands of society. The authors have developed and implemented a pedagogical project, experimental foresight platform 'Strategy of Students' Professional Self-Improvement in Health Education'. They have developed and tested a set of research and methodological methods based on the analysis of health education resources (profession-oriented classes, preliminary courses, college, university, internship, post-graduate studies, proficiency courses), professional self-improvement technologies (Web-quests, workshops, 'Life Balance Wheel', time-management technologies, 'Time Swing', etc.), power point presentations 'Medicine of the Future', and guideline. The authors have also arranged the Self-Improvement Laboratory that allows to implement the aforesaid guidelines and methods developed as part of the project.
