FOREIGN EXPERIENCE TRAINING MANAGERS OF MILITARY MEDICINE

Abstract

The article analyzes the experience of organizing military medicine and training in some NATO countries (USA, France, Germany and the Czech Republic). A scientific and theoretical study of the formation and implementation of NATO standards in the training of managers for departmental medicine, identified optimal ways to implement them in the training system in the Armed Forces. It has been emphasized that in recent decades the leading countries of Europe and the world have been conducting a thorough discussion on how to provide people with the appropriate knowledge and skills to ensure harmonious interaction with a rapidly evolving global society. There is an increase in the process of re-equipping the medical service with medical equipment, increasing the role of medical support of military and humanitarian operations in various regions of near and far abroad, which in turn affects the level of requirements for medical personnel, the quality of their training. It is established that the problem of training managers of departmental medicine is currently at the stage of large-scale transformations caused by the violation of the existing system of strategic stability in the world, changing military threats to Ukraine, new means and methods of armed struggle. The ultimate goal of such transformations is the formation of well-trained and equipped armies and naval forces capable of reliably protecting the national interests of the country. Priorities in the field of training for the needs of the medical service in the military personnel policy system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are analyzed, which in turn will provide an opportunity to create a high-tech educational environment and update the requirements for training military medical professionals. The article emphasizes that the issue of training military medical specialists for each state’s own armed forces becomes especially relevant during its reform. Similar structural changes are taking place in the medical service. The accumulated world experience in the organization of medical care of any armed conflict shows that the end result of treatment of the wounded depends primarily on training, time of timely and comprehensive medical care, research results and requires the fastest implementation of the results.
