Evidence base for diagnosing and treatment of COVID-19». The theoretical and practical aspects of the teaching materials development for the methodological support of the educational process in English are discussesed in this article. «Evidence-Based and Personalized Medicine» is a new discipline taught at the university. The authors of the article have presented their original experience in creating a system of scientific and methodological support, taking into account the lack of a standardized approach to the development of teaching materials for the clinical discipline in English. The relevance of studying the issues of evidence-based and personalized medicine, including those related to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a new coronavirus infection, is determined by the modern needs of the healthcare system and medical education. The article defines the place of the discipline in the system of clinical disciplines taught in English, presents the main structural components and content of EMC.
