It is proven that professional management of the healthcare industry in conditions of dynamic changes under transformational conditions requires managers to have systemic knowledge and deep competencies in the fields of management, economics, law, psychology and information technologies.
It is proposed to create a scientific and methodological association for the training of healthcare system managers on the basis of leading higher education institutions, which implement educational programs in specialties whose subject area concerns management and administration, in accordance with the detailed branch of the International Standard Classification of Education ISCED-F 2013, which provides for the acquisition of relevant special (professional) competencies in accordance with the approved Standards for the second (master’s) level of higher education, taking into account industry specifics. The main goal of the scientific and methodological association is proposed to be a comprehensive theoretical and scientific and methodological substantiation of the process of training healthcare system managers based on world experience in training, advanced training and continuous professional development of specialists of the specified category.
