Development of medical education in the context of European integration

Abstract

European countries are united in their views on the value of human life, education, and healthcare through intellectual, cultural, and social proximity. Human health is the most sensitive issue for different population segments and is often exploited by political forces to create social instability. The European Union is a complex structure that unites member countries with their long-established views on healthcare. An important innovation of today is the introduction of digital technologies into the healthcare system. The events of recent years (pandemic, economic instability, war) have exposed the heterogeneity of European countries' economic and technological levels and changed the proportional possibilities of individual states' contributions to a single system. To create a single, coordinated intellectual space, it is necessary to create a single level of quality of higher education in the countries participating in this space. Strengthening cooperation between Ukrainian scientific and industrial organizations with their partners in the EU, expanding the research space, will serve as an incentive for Ukrainian scientists not only to comply with the agreed rules, but also to actively, equally participate in the improvement and development of new recommendation and regulatory documents of European educational and research spaces, and to make the most of the opportunities of our scientists, teaching staff, and young specialists
