Doctors will no longer be taught remotely - State Duma
The State Duma will consider a bill to improve the quality of medical education in its second reading on February 25. The draft was first read on January 21. The document provides for the training and retraining of doctors only in person in specialized educational institutions with a scientific and clinical base.
"Training doctors or pharmacists in distance or electronic formats without a scientific base and practice is an absolute profanation, the price of which will be medical errors," commented State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.
The bill assumes that the Ministry of Health and Roszdravnadzor will strengthen licensing requirements for educational organizations in healthcare.
To date, 127 medical universities train doctors in the country, 49 of which are controlled by the Ministry of Health.
