The use of distance learning of medical students has the following advantages: unlimited access to educational materials anywhere in the world, time mobility, extensive use of online resources; saving the life and health of all participants in the learning process. The use of multimedia technologies as a components online education is very important when teaching the subject of "pharmacology"through distance learning sessions, video lectures, as well as online consultations. However, there are a number of disadvantages in distance learning – different Internet speeds, distracting components, and the lack of emotion during conversations. Distance learning can bean alternative learning to infectious epidemics, wars, cataclysms when it is impossible to conduct in person training. The use of distance learning introduces young people to a modern style of education. Meanwhile the use of online technologies in the teaching of pharmacology also directs the development of student self-education. All of these factors are valuable for finding new skills throughout life. The use of distance education components (online lectures, online consultations) will be important in the future of teaching pharmacology and in full-time (offline) training of medical students.
