Purpose: to substantiate the goals, objectives, content of educational and professional programs for training bachelors and masters of public health.
Materials and Methods. Bibliographic, information-analytical methods and content analysis were used.
Results. Medical and social research revealed the imperfection of the modern system of training specialists for public health services. Insufficient compliance of the training system with modern strategies for the development of human resources for health care has been revealed.
Analysis of strategic and programmatic documents at the global, regional and national levels, the provisions of the European Program of Key Competencies of Public Health Professionals, ASPHER, the experience of training public health professionals in leading universities in the world and Europe identified priority areas for the formation of human resources for public health, requirements for theoretical and practical training of specialists. Taking into account the provisions of educational standards and on the basis of data from our own research, educational and professional training programs for bachelors and masters of public health have been substantiated and developed.
Conclusions. Educational and professional training programs for bachelors and masters of public health ensure the assimilation of a wide range of knowledge, the acquisition of skills and competencies for the implementation of the main operational functions of public health and the provision of relevant services within the framework of interdisciplinary cooperation and intersectoral interaction.
