The article is devoted to the introduction of practice-oriented training of doctors, which is an urgent problem of modern medicine. The importance of both theoretical  education and improved practical skills is highlighted. Training of  specialists at leading clinical centers allows to expand knowledge of modern  treatment methods, master key practical competencies, and learn the skills of well-coordinated work from the staff. This is how young specialists acquire not only medical knowledge and skills, but also the subtleties of intra-team communication.  The flagship centers (FC) of Moscow have all the above characteristics. The FC at O. M. Filatov City Clinical Hospital No. 15 is the clinical database of the  Department of First and Emergency Medical Care at the Institute of Continuing  Education and Professional Development of N. I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University. Due to the availability of all conditions for providing urgent care  on the basis of this Federal Medical Center under the guidance of teachers of the  department who are doctors of the Center, residents and trainees are maximally involved in the clinical process and master the manipulations performed  by doctors of various specializations. They are also trained how to provide  psychological support and communicate with patients’ relatives, adapt to work in a  patient-oriented environment, and build optimal patient routing. Owing to this  approach, future doctors receive the most up-to-date practice-oriented education in an innovative clinical center, which allows them to immediately use their knowledge in real clinical practice.
