The carrying out of course assignments by medical students at the chair of social hygiene and public health administration is proposed for the wide application as a means of promoting the development of creative thinking in students. The course assignments fulfilled on the basis of data on regional peculiarities, characteristics of the population's health and health services while approximating students to the real practical activity promote the development of skills in the analysis, synthesis, generalization, concretization and other intellectual abilities absolutely indispensable for the future doctors.
Some modalities of thinking, in order to arise logical presumptions and steady conclusions in research, are presented. The paper aims to provide concepts with which the hypothesis are established, and the way to make inferences in research.
The authors mention different ways in which a give problem can be described within the framework of the theory of sets, logic, mathematical analysis, statistic and cybernetics. As an example of the confrontation of the mentioned aspects they discuss different approaches to the evaluation of time as a variable--temporal logic, Markov chains, theory of catastrophes which play a part in medicine, in particular in prognostic considerations. These different aspects make possible solutions which may differ and their application depends in particular on the purpose for which they are intended.
