Abstract:
Introduction:
Natural, technical and social disasters annually affect countries
around the globe, causing considerable material damage. The
pathology appeared is complicated and requires deep knowledge by
doctors for the provision of medical care and management in the
outbreaks.
Purpose:
To argue the need for training students and medical staff in the field
of Disaster Medicine.
Material and methods:
The literature aimed at training students and doctors in the field of
Disaster Medicine from ex-Soviet and European countries was
studied and analyzed, with the highlighting of study programs and
thematic plans on different profiles and specializations.
Results:
In ex-Soviet countries, the discipline of Disaster Medicine is taught at the
university level with a number of hours ranging from 60 to 90 (including
Toxicology). At postgraduate level, in the Russian Federation, the training
takes place according to a unified program with a budget of 100-120
hours. In Romania, at university level, the discipline is taught only in some
university centers as part of the Emergency Medicine module. At
postgraduate level, the Ministry of Health organizes competence courses in
Medical Disaster Management with a budget of 120 hours. In the context of
the Covid-19 pandemic, the disaster medicine course is also proposed at
university level.
Conclusions:
The training of students and doctors in the field of Disaster Medicine
remains a current issue. Curricula must be adapted to curricula with the
inclusion of topics specific to specialties at university level and
specializations at postgraduate level.
