[History of clinical lectures on faculty therapy from Botkin and Zakharyin to the present day]

For a long time, the clinical lecture occupied a central place in teaching the course of faculty therapy and shaping the clinical thinking of future doctors. Since the time of Zakharyin and Botkin, the form and content of clinical lectures have undergone significant changes. The focus has gradually shifted from the analysis of the patient to the disease, which partly contradicts the principles of teaching in faculty clinics, laid down at their creation. The article traces these trends based on materials published in various periods of medical science development.
