The modernization of medical education requires the formation of competencies that enable future physicians not only to apply preventive measures but also to design, analyze, and evaluate preventive strategies independently. This article presents a methodology for developing medical students’ meta-preventive competence using RPMT (Reflective Preventive Modular Technology) within the teaching of Occupational Hygiene. The proposed methodology integrates reflective learning, preventive orientation, modular content structuring, and educational technologies aimed at enhancing students’ analytical, prognostic, and decision-making skills in occupational health. The study substantiates the pedagogical potential of RPMT technology and demonstrates its effectiveness in forming higher-level preventive competencies among medical students.References
