This article explores the development of logical thinking in students of higher medical institutions through the use of authentic materials. Authentic materials refer to real-life resources and scenarios that reflect the complexities and challenges of medical practice. The integration of authentic materials in medical education enhances students’ logical thinking skills by providing opportunities for critical analysis, problem-solving, and evidence-based decision-making. The article discusses various strategies for incorporating authentic materials, such as case-based reasoning, real- world simulations, interdisciplinary approaches, and reflective writing. It highlights the importance of mentorship, technology integration, and continuous assessment in facilitating the development of logical thinking. The findings emphasize the significance of creating a supportive learning environment that nurtures students’ logical thinking abilities, preparing them for the complexities of the medical profession.
