Abstract:
Physical and rehabilitation medicine is recognized as primary medical specialty present all over the European Union. More than 1,500 residents are trained in this specialty. Delegates from Ukraine are active participants in the Committees of the European Section and the Council for Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (FRM) uniting 31 European countries including Turkey, Ukraine, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Israel, Montenegro and Russia. This contributed to launching harmonization of the rehabilitation system with the European standards in Ukraine. It also assisted in training of residents, in development and implementation of the FRM educational process in Ukraine530 as well as in implementation of the rehabilitation system in the national health care facilities. Devising scenarios for the development of FRM at different organizational levels (healthcare facility, structural unit, individual methods of diagnosis, treatment, etc.) is one of the critical issues to be addressed.
