The integration of digital technologies into higher education has significantly transformed language learning, particularly in specialized fields such as medicine. This study explores the development of medical students’ professional competence through English medical texts delivered via digital platforms. The research investigates how digital tools enhance reading comprehension, terminology acquisition, and professional communication skills. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving experimental and control groups of medical students. The findings demonstrate that digital platforms significantly improve students’ engagement, comprehension, and ability to apply professional knowledge in real-life contexts. The study highlights the pedagogical potential of digital learning environments in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction.
