[Current programs of postgraduate training of sanitary physicians in occupational medicine and human ecology]

Creation of new or considerably improved legal organizational and methodic base for State Sanitary and Epidemiologic Supervision activities necessitates higher qualification of doctors in industrial medicine and human ecology. Contemporary postgraduate medical training should include three important spheres: 1) evaluation of health state of occupational and population groups; 2) hygienic criteria to reveal correlation between health and life conditions (occupational, environmental and other factors); 3) hygienic aspects of occupational and everyday safety. Medical and biologic model of health evaluation appeared to be the most adequate to reveal influence of work conditions and ecologic factors on workers and population, methodic basis of this evaluation is search of quantitative dependencies and proof of the findings specificity. Hygienic aspects of occupational and everyday safety include two principal directions: problem of major chemical jeopardy and hygienic certification of production.
