Aim: to present the principles and distinctive features of the innovative educational program “Health Model-
ing” for the General Medicine specialty, aimed at refocusing medical training toward proactive health preservation
and disease prevention.
Key points. The “Health Modeling” profile was introduced in 2023 at Sechenov University in response to the need
to shift the focus of physicians’ work from treating existing diseases to effectively preventing the development of pa-
thologies. This approach aligns with the global healthcare strategy of maintaining population health and increasing
the duration of healthy life. The program seeks to equip students with a comprehensive set of competencies for pre-
serving patient and public health using the latest advances in medical science and technology. Distinctive features
of the curriculum include interdisciplinary modules structured by organ systems and a spiral progression of content,early immersion of students into clinical practice from the first year, and the translation of cutting-edge scientific
knowledge into education through hands-on laboratory practicums. In the senior years, the learning trajectory is in-
dividualized, and students acquire healthcare management skills through internships in federal and regional health-
care institutions. Sechenov University is the first in Russia to implement such an integrated, organ system-based
curriculum within the General Medicine specialty.
Conclusion. The “Health Modeling” educational program represents a significant step forward in modernizing med-
ical education with an emphasis on preventive care. This model prepares a new generation of physicians oriented
toward health preservation at both individual and population levels and should be of interest to medical educators
and administrators seeking to update training programs in line with contemporary global health challenges.
