In 2023, the State Expert Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine became a provider of the continuing professional development (CPD) system for physicians and pharmacists. Oleksandr HUDZENKO, Head of the Agency for Methodological and Scientific-Practical Work, Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Professor, Honored Health Worker of Ukraine, spoke about the Center's place in the CPD system, about how lifelong learning improves the quality of medical care and helps career growth, in an interview with The Pharma Media https://thepharma.media/uk/business/34588-oleksandr-gudzenko-vid-bezperervnogo-profesiinogo-rozvitku-pracivnikiv-sferi-oxoroni-zdorovya-zalezit-yakist-medicnoyi-dopomogi-08042024
Key points:
- The Center is the only provider in Ukraine that can offer programs of professional development seminars for doctors and pharmacists in all areas of activity as a primary source. And not just as a primary source. Over its more than thirty-year history, the Center has also developed unique experience.
- Employers seek to attract highly qualified specialists. And professional development allows you to stand out among other professionals.
- New professions are becoming increasingly widespread. Just last year, specializations such as pharmacovigilance professional, clinical trials professional, and health technology assessment professional appeared. This means that as the need for new specialists grows, continuous professional development is becoming increasingly important.
- Professional development fosters a mindset oriented toward lifelong learning, encouraging professionals in the health care system to continuously develop their skills and adapt to new challenges. In this connection, I cannot fail to recall Einstein’s well-known saying: “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.”
- The quality of medical care depends to a large extent on the professional development of healthcare workers. Therefore, within the framework of professional development, a variety of training topics are offered so that every specialist can find the profile that suits them best. That is why I invite you: come, take part in our seminars and trainings, receive points and certificates – they will certainly become an important milestone in your professional portfolio.
See you at the professional development training at the Center!
