[Experience gained with the training of interns-hygienists and its use in creating the structure of an integrated licensing examination "Step 3 - Sanitary-Hygienist Work"]. / Dosvid pidhotovky likariv-interniv hihiienichnoho profiliu ta ioho vykorystannia pry stvorenni struktury intehrovanoho litsenziinoho ispytu "Krok 3--sanitarno-hihiienichna sprava."

The experience gained with the training of interns-hygienists at the National Medical University has proved its value, contributing to which fact were modern material-and-technical resources, close cooperation of chairs of hygiene with sanitary epidemiologic stations and scientific-research institutes, highly skilled scientific and teaching personnel, systematic sharing of experience gained in training of specialists with institutions of higher learning of Ukraine. However, interns, Masters, practitioners are still in great need of modern educational literature/training aids. There has not yet been developed a general concept of structure of sanitary epidemiological service of Ukraine, forms and methods of its work under present-day conditions. Publication of joint educational literature and textbooks of methodics to complete training of physicians-hygienists, Masters in hygiene and epidemiology, introduction of an integrated licensed examination "Step 3--Sanitarno-Gigiyenicheskoye Delo" (sanitation-and-hygiene-related work) will, we believe, help in solving the above problems.
