The objective is to analyze the effectiveness of postgraduate studies at the Department of Therapeutic Profile of the Medical University. Methods. An anonymous survey of 11 postgraduate students (6 men and 5 women) aged 26 to 35 years, who studied in the specialty of "internal diseases" and "cardiology" in the period from 2018 to 2024, was conducted. Results. All postgraduate students (100%) who completed their postgraduate studies successfully and on time passed the state final certification, defended their research and qualification work and dissertation. An increase in the level of knowledge for passing candidate exams was noted compared to the level of preparation at the time of admission to postgraduate study (from 8 [7; 9] to 9 [8; 9] points). The answer to the question "How interesting are you to engage in research activities" corresponded to 10 [9; 10], "How much do you rate your desire to engage in teaching activities" - 10 [9; 10] points. All postgraduate students voted for the desire to continue engaged in research activities after defending their dissertation. Difficulties with data collection were noted by 55%, with statistical data processing - 36%, with preparation of the "literature review" section - 27%, "material and research methods" - 18%, "own results" - 18% of postgraduate students. The demand for the skills and abilities acquired during postgraduate studies in practical activities was estimated at 9 [8; 10] points. When asked what needs to be improved during postgraduate studies, 63.64% of postgraduate students answered that nothing should be improved, 36.36% chose research training, 9.09% - theoretical training at the university. Conclusion. The specifics of postgraduate studies at the Department of Outpatient Therapy of the Institute of Clinical Medicine using multilateral training of specialists in theoretical, scientific and pedagogical directions contribute to the effective preparation of the dissertation research and its defense on time. There is a high interest of postgraduate students in scientific and pedagogical activities.

High demands are placed on medical specialists involved in the elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of emergencies in terms of their special training. The objective of the study was to establish the level of professional competencies in providing emergency medical care and to determine the need for advanced training in disaster medicine for doctors of non-staff formations of the disaster medicine service (DMS) of city polyclinics. Data were collected using an anonymous questionnaire survey, the sample size was 262 people. The study found that only 46.7% of respondents have the necessary practical skills, the greatest difficulties are caused by tracheal intubation (24.0%), tracheostomy in case of asphyxia and the ability to use equipment for artificial ventilation of the lungs (27.1% each). A high degree of need of medical specialists for additional professional training in disaster medicine as part of advanced training courses was also revealed: only 26.0% of doctors over the past 5 years were trained in disaster medicine as part of additional professional education, 79.4% of respondents reported the need to study disaster medicine issues. Thus, the staffing of non-staff QMS formations should be carried out only by medical specialists who have undergone training in disaster medicine. When developing additional professional programs in disaster medicine, it is advisable to provide for the interaction of disaster medicine departments with specialized clinical departments to consolidate the skills of performing medical manipulations to provide emergency medical care.
