The purpose of the study was to reveal the theoretical foundations of the implementation of the tutoring approach to the teaching of histology, cytology and embryology as a universal pedagogical technology. Materials and methods. Analyses, generalization and systematization of information from scientific and methodical literature were used in the study. Results and discussion. Tutoring technology is one of the credit-module system of education components in educational institutions of the III-IV levels of accreditation. Individualization of education contributed to the development of tutoring technologies, which are aimed at the development of independent work in the educational process of a higher medical school, and the tutor is responsible not only for the level of knowledge, but also for the formation of the personality of the future doctor. The introduction of tutoring into the educational process is a desire to identify the gifted young generation, to help them organize themselves in the educational space of the university and to get to know the applicants with their dreams and problems. The tutor gradually acquires a different role from previous work experience, which requires mastering self-organization techniques, the ability to take the initiative in a situation of uncertainty, and the cultivation of paradoxical thinking. The tutor becomes a role model, showing students certain orientations and techniques for self-improvement. Implementation of tutoring in a higher medical school takes place on the basis of mutual respect and trust, which creates a real opportunity for continuous professional growth of the teacher's competence and increasing the knowledge of students, their self-esteem, forms of flexibility and non-standard thinking, creates a desire to replenish one's own knowledge. Tutoring is one of the promising directions of the development of the individualization of training in the professional training of future medical students, which contributes to: creation of a whole set of educational and teaching-methodical manuals for independent work; development of integrated interdepartmental tasks; development of collegial relations of teachers and students; development of tasks that involve non-standard solutions. Conclusion. Tutoring is one of the forms of organizing the educational process, which involves mostly individual consultations, the use of project methods, and the introduction of information technologies. It helps to form the skills of self-education, self-development and creative solution of professional tasks, training in effective methods of development and implementation of research projects in various spheres of practical activity of students
