RESUMO
The article: "Functional and Cost Approach to the Evaluation of Methods of Postgraduate Training of Public Health Administrators" raises a number of issues concerning the use of methodology of cost analysis for assessing the methods used in the system of postgraduate training of public health administrators. The emphasis is placed on the analysis of teaching staff functions and the expenditures allocated for their realization. A question of developing a functional model and also a functional and cost diagram is considered. An example is found in the method of group dynamics as one of the variants of active training. An evaluation has been made of advantages and disadvantages as compared with a classical variant of training. It has been noted that the approach suggested is of major importance while introducing the cost-accountable relations into the system of postgraduate training.
