Experience in training specialists in biological safety

Abstract

Ensuring biosafety is an important international problem and makes it necessary to regularly train specialists in biosafety issues.

Research objective. Assessment of the experience of training specialists in biological safety.

Material and methods. Legislative, regulatory and methodological documents, publications, training programs for advanced training and professional retraining in the field of training specialists in biological safety of work with pathogens of particularly dangerous infections using the analytical method.

Results. The system of training in biological safety, taking into account epidemiological risks, is changing in accordance with the requirements for the qualification of specialists, the transition to a remote form and the reduction of training time.

Conclusion. The existing system of training specialists in biosafety issues shows quite high efficiency, but it needs to develop new programs, introduce new forms of training and regularly update them due to the high variability of the epidemiological situation in the country and the world.
