RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The aim: The Canada and Poland experience in the educational field in the practical implementation of international practices for the prevention of patient safety incidents is significant, taking into consideration the effectiveness of health care models. We have to analyze the documents on the training of medical professionals in terms of safety as a first step in introducing into the domestic (Ukrainian) medical educational practice of existing international experience in teaching patient safety. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The research was based on international documents on patient safety, thematic scientific publications, plans, and programs for the training of medical professionals in Ukraine. Bibliosemantic, systems analysis, mathematical (relative values) research methods were used in the study. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The analysis of thematic plans of separate disciplines in "Nursing" specialty has shown, that according to experts, questions of safety of patients should contain more than in 70% of subjects; on the topics of classes safety issues are provided in the range from 45.1% (basics of nursing) to 0.0% (anesthesiology and resuscitation); the actual content of educational and methodical materials was from 14.6% (basics of nursing) to 0.0% (anesthesiology and resuscitation). The time allotted to study disciplines related to occupational safety and health of health workers (life safety, basics of bioethics and biosafety, as well as occupational safety in the industry) is six times higher than the hours of study of the discipline (medical law) related to patient safety in the Working Curriculum (second (master's) level of higher education in the field of knowledge 22 "health" specialty 222 "medicine"). As a result of the analysis of work programs of educational disciplines at all levels of medical specialists training, a sharp discrepancy in the new information support of the educational process was revealed in terms of patient safety.
