The author defines basic directions of studies: studies of training the future medical PhDs and studies of shaping their academic communicative competence. Another classification of the future medical PhDs training can be classified in the following groups: studies of shaping the scientific research competence in future PhDs, Studies of shaping
academic competence in future PhDs, studies of shaping the pedagogical competence in future PhDs and studies of shaping the professional competence in medical PhDs. The studies of shaping the skills of future research are represented by papers by V.Miniajlo, O.M. Spirin, S. Nikolajeva, who emphasize shaping the research skills of future PhDs as the key training component. The authors stress upon the importance of informational education of future PhDs as the basic components of their training. The article describes the studies of shaping the academic competence within training future PhDs (O. Semenog), dwelling on the modernity of the term.
