[METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO DEFINING CRITERIA FOR ACCREDITATION OF SPECIALISTS (IN CASE OF MEDICAL PARASITOLOGISTS)].

In 2016, provision is made for the transition for an accreditation system for all health workers to have individual permits for specific kinds of medical activities. Regular accreditation of health workers is one of the constituents of medical education, which is being intensively elaborated by the Ministry of Health of Russia jointly with a professional community by the module principle of using an accumulation system of valid credits. Despite the fact that higher educational establishments belong to different agencies, educational programs for physicians, criteria and procedures for their accreditation must be uniform. In this connection, there is today's challenge of methodological and methodical approaches to defining criteria for the accreditation of specialists of healthcare facilities of the Ministry of Health of Russia, bodies and institutions of the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare. In the context of systemic and functional methodological approaches, the paper shows a procedure for defining criteria for the accreditation of specialists (in case of medical parasitologists).

[THE FUNCTIONAL CONSTITUENT OF A BIOLOGICAL COMPONENT IN PROGRAMS FOR TRAINING SPECIALISTS IN THE AREA OF PARASITOLOGY FOR ACCREDITATION].

The paper considers the functional aspects of a biological component in programs for training specialists in the area of Parasitology for accreditation within the current enactments, including those on modernization of public health and additional professional education. The working program of the module "Fundamental Disciplines" has been used as an example to outline approaches to molding a medical parasitologist's capacity and readiness to solve professional tasks on the basis of knowledge of fundamental disciplines: biology, immunology, and medical geography. Education fundamentalization is shown to suggest more unsupervised work of a learner in the teaching process. The fundamental constituent of a biological component of the 'programs for training learners in the specialty of Parasitology for accreditation is shown in the interaction of all sections of this area with special and allied subjects.

[A PROJECT TARGETED APPROACH TO IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING OF PARASITOLOGISTS].

A project targeted approach is the methodological basis for organizing professional education, which deals with learning objectives, content, and technologies as a professional activity design where all components-of a teaching process are constructed on an integrative basis. The project targeted approach is the basis for a project method. The latter ensures that the learning objectives are achieved through the creation of a professionally significant problem, which should yield a real, tangible practical result. At the same time, the organization of a specialist's training and professional activities undergoes a complete cycle: from revelation of a problem to implementation of a project, its assessment and reflection (a comparative analysis of the organization and quality of practical activity). The high effectiveness of the project method contributes to the better environmental training of parasitologists and to the improvement of their professional readiness to solve specific parasitogenic problems.
