The article provides a scientific review of modern research in the field of public administration of postgraduate medical education development and highlights the prospects for studying the reforming mechanisms thereof. The basic aspects of the social significance of the postgraduate medical education development are specified, which determines the basis for further identification of approaches to solve relevant theoretical and practical problems in this area. A number of problems of public administration in the field of healthcare related to the improvement of postgraduate medical education, which became the subject of scientific discourse: development of intensive training of all groups of specialists in this field, training in healthcare institutions, self-directed learning, focusing on the quality of training of management personnel of healthcare management bodies, healthcare institutions, improvement of mechanisms for the formation of the government demand for training, is detected. The need to take greater account of the specific nature of the mechanisms of the postgraduate medical education development, due to the intersectoral nature of management (healthcare, education) is confirmed. The above allowed outlining the task of obtaining the profound knowledge about intersectoral management and mechanisms thereof, taking into account the development of modern public administration theory and the demands of society. It is concluded that it is necessary to unify the theory and practice of applying the public administration mechanisms in terms of establishing the concept of “publicity”. Reforms of postgraduate medical education in Ukraine are associated with the introduction of mechanisms for innovative development of the health care system. The evolution of the theory of public administration mechanisms is considered in the context of finding new ideas for the introduction of means, levers, incentives for government influence on the medical education system in terms of deepening of subject-subject relations in the management of public affairs and cross-sectoral approach to the application thereof. The importance of studying the effects of democratization of state and public relations, decentralization of power on the choice of public administration mechanisms is emphasized.
