Telehealth in the context of the spread of COVID-19 requires doctors to use a new set of communicative skills in medical practice: good diction, the ability to conduct interviews with a patient, active listening skills, summing up, empathy, acting techniques.
The aim of the study is to theoretically substantiate and experimentally test the effectiveness of telehealth communication strategies of medical students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The leading methods of the study: Test “Assessment of communicative skills” by Karelin (2011); Yusupov’s Ability to Empathy Test (Ilyin, 2011); Online simulators “Development of Communication Competencies of a Doctor” (Kamalova & Gaifullina, 2022).
We have proven that a patient-centered approach is an effective communication strategy. We developed a special course “Communicative competence of future doctors” for medical students majoring in “Medical business”. Online simulators have been developed to assess the medical students’ use of a patient-centered approach to communication with patients, posted on the Online Test Pad platform. The results of the study can be used in the professional training of medical students majoring in “Medical care”.

The dynamics of affective-cognitive aspects of experiencing new information by high school and university students
There is a need to develop new psychological and pedagogical methods that improve the quality of learning new information, and take into account the individual personal characteristics of students. This article explores the changes in the structure of the relationships between cognitive states and emotional experiences during lessons where the new teaching material is perceived by the students as easy to understand and when the new information seems difficult. A survey was conducted with 60 high school students and 45 third-year students at KFU. The study showed the general psychological regularities of individual cognitive states and the emotional dynamic. It established a relationship between the time factor, the subjective evaluation of the quality of perception of new information and the general emotional well-being in high school students and students. The conclusions provide a basis for the new strategy for the provision of educational information.
