The paper analyzes an array of scientific publications on continuing education over the past 45 years using the method of bibliometric mapping. We consider as units of analysis both (1) the collaborations of authors, organizations, and countries participating in scientific research on continuing education, as well as (2) keywords as indicators of thematic areas in the stream of publications on continuing education. We characterize the scientometric indicators of scientific directions in research on continuing education. Our analysis shows the high positive dynamics of publication productivity and the dominance of two main scientific areas in continuing education research: medicine (healthcare) and education itself. Our analysis also reveals a weak transcollaborative connection between (1) the authors of scientific research on continuing education and (2) the formation of groups of authors for conducting single studies. We further notice an expansion of the terminological (and, as a consequence, problemological) content of studies on continuing education towards interdisciplinary communication and the use of information technologies.

Despite the more than a century of the existence of the Department of Forensic Medicine Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University, the experience of remote teaching of forensic medicine on it until now was absent. Сenturies, programs of education have changed, but the full-time education of students at the department was constant. Distance learning appeared at the department as a forced measure in self-isolation during the 2020 pandemic.

The study examined some aspects that affect the motivation of medical students to study and the formation of a part of professional competencies aimed at assessing the ability to work with patients in practice. The aim of the work was to assess the views of KSMU students about the importance of the educational process, motives that affect the success in obtaining education, professional prospects, career growth. The study was carried out by the method of questioning 68 4th year students and 85 6th year students of the medical and preventive medicine faculty. To study the motivational sphere of the personality, we used the methodology "Motivation for studying at a university". To study the formation of a part of professional competencies (communicative and educational), a questionnaire developed by us was used, aimed at assessing the ability to work with patients in practice. The results of the study showed that students adequately chose their profession and are satisfied with the process of studying at the university. However, senior students have higher rates. Moreover, they have different motivation for learning. The dominance of mastering the profession under the influence of the psychological aspect is becoming stronger among sixth-year students. When analyzing the questionnaire on the degree of professional competence, it was revealed that the outpatient service and district doctors remain in secondary roles, forced to concede laurels and money to high-tech hospitals and narrow-profile specialists, and university students are a product of time. Thus, the teacher of the clinical department has a great responsibility in the formation of professional competencies and strengthening the student's motivation for learning.

The article provides a detailed analysis of the educational complex in the discipline "Outpatient therapy", which is taught at the relevant departments of RNIMU named after N.I. Pirogov and the department of the same name VSMU named after N.N. Burdenko. Both of these universities are part of the East European NOMK, which was created to implement the Strategy for the Development of Medical Science in the Russian Federation for the period until 2025. The fundamental difference between the educational process in the two universities is the different distribution of the hourly load across semesters and the methodological approach to studying the discipline. Various approaches to teaching discipline in universities are aimed at achieving a common goal - the training of medical personnel focused on achievement of a common goal - the training of medical personnel oriented to the professional standard “Physician-general practitioner (district general practitioner)” and the provision of primary health care. The experience accumulated by the staff of the departments allows us to fully approach the training of specialists and, quite justifiably, to begin interaction between structures for the exchange of this experience.

Modern requirements for training of highly qualified specialists at a medical university, who are ready for making independent decisions and continuous professional development, provide for the competent use of various pedagogical approaches and technologies for development of practical skills. To determine the preferred choice of the optimal training technology, we surveyed senior students of the medical university faculty of General Medicine. Graduate students assign a more important role to the content and practical significance of the training sessions, development of practical skills and analysis of clinical cases, while the 5th year students primarily pay attention to the illustrative component of the information provided, the use of role-playing simulation games. To ensure high quality professional training, a modern medical university teacher should give importance to individual approach to students and assess students’ achievements based on their portfolio.

The article briefly discusses the fundamental principles of the concept of continuing medical and pharmaceutical education, which provide the foundation for achieving planned indicators of the Federal project 'Providing healthcare organisations of the public health system with qualified personnel'. The prerequisites to develop an information system for planning and recording educational activity in the framework of continuing education of healthcare professionals, namely the Portal of Continuing Medical and Pharmaceutical Education of the Ministry of Health of Russia, are presented. The structure of the Portal and the functionality of its main components are considered from the users' perspective; personal accounts of specialists and other users involved in the implementation of the system are described. The opportunities provided by the Portal for regional executive healthcare authorities as well as for individual healthcare organizations to monitor and analyze the educational activity of healthcare professionals as a part of the continuing education system are described in detail.
