CONCEPT OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING FORENSIC EXPERTS IN UKRAINE

The authors analyzed foreign experience in the training of forensic experts. This experience is compared with the corresponding training system for forensic doctors that existed in Ukraine until 2022. A comparative analysis of the working curricula of pathologists and forensic doctors was carried out. It is shown that the proposed system of training forensic medical experts based on a three- month specialization of pathologists can potentially lead to a decrease in the qualifi cation level of forensic medical examination in Ukraine, since such a training period is not enough. It is proposed to adjust the training program for pathologists from this year by combining the educational material of pathological anatomy, clinical pathophysiology and certain sections of forensic medicine, with the expansion of the competencies of a pathologist. The authors also propose to change the name of the specialty from «Pathological Anatomy» to «Pathology». The teaching of forensic medical examination during the postgraduate training of pathologists should be carried out by highly qualifi ed teachers in the specialty «Forensic Мedicine».
