The article characterizes the procedure of accreditation expertise of the “General Medicine” training program for the second (master’s) level in the specialty 222 “Medicine”, implemented at Ivan Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The relevance of the topic is determined by new approaches to the accreditation of educational programs in Ukraine, which require the implementation of autonomous methods for managing the quality of education in accordance with European standards. The results of the expertise carried out by the members of the expert group and the sectoral expert council of the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance (NAQA) was analysed. The article describes how the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Accreditation Commission, and the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance conduct monitoring of training programs through assessing their compliance with established standards. The research shows that accreditation not only determines the quality of education but also helps identify the strengths and weaknesses of training programs, providing information to all stakeholders. The main results of the expert evaluation highlight a high level of training for specialists in line with current labour market demands and emphasize the importance of adapting curricula to the conditions of healthcare reform. The article underscores the significance of ongoing monitoring of education quality to enhance the competitiveness of graduates. The manuscript focuses on the uniqueness and advantages of the training program, its evaluation, as well as the recommendations and suggestions provided by NAQA experts.
