“…К тому же это позволяет включать в анализ присутствующие в популяции бактериофаги и вирусы, что, несомненно, расширяет представление о таксономическом составе метаболических особенностей метагенома. Популярный анализ метагеномасеквенирование гена 16S рибосомной РНК, участвующего в трансляции, -помогает не только отслеживать пути эволюции биологических видов, но и «выстраивать» бактериальное дерево, отражающее состав бактериального сообщества [20][21][22].…”

The article discusses the profile and professional skills of a specialist in the field of medical microbiology. The recent trend towards the centralization of microbiological laboratories in order to increase the level of funding, equipment, increase the range of studies performed and to standardize all stages of laboratory diagnostics (preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical) requires a revision of the qualification requirements for medical personnel. The authors raise the issue of a professional standard in the field of medical microbiology and analyze changes in the professional tasks of a medical microbiologist from the period of approval of the first curriculum in medical microbiology to the current stage in the development of laboratory diagnostics of infectious diseases. The basic competencies, obligatory knowledge and skills of a specialist in the field of medical microbiology are discussed, these are necessary for the implementation of job functions in the field of high-technological research methods using the genome of pathogens and microbial communities. The profile of a specialist is considered in terms of interaction with doctors of other specialties for the effective decision of medical problems in antimicrobial therapy and the prevention of infectious diseases. The search for literature sources was carried out using the Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, GlobalHealth, CyberLeninka, and RSCI databases. The study showed that the professional skills of a medical microbiologist should be evaluated together with the specialist’s personal characteristics, which become necessary for graduates’ successful certification in higher medical educational institutions

“…Investment in, and development of, a public health workforce is an essential prerequisite for adequate delivery and implementation of public health services and activities [18]. This is also in accordance with the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS), which monitors and evaluates medical speciality training in all European countries including clinical (medical) microbiology, infectious diseases and public health medicine [19].…”

Core competencies in applied infectious disease epidemiology: a framework for countries in Europe

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In 2009, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) developed a competency framework to support European Union countries and the European Commission in ensuring a competent public health workforce for Europe. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic emphasised the importance of harmonised public health strategies and competencies across international boundaries, specifically for infectious diseases. This perspective presents the process to update the competency framework for applied infectious disease epidemiology, highlighting ECDC’s efforts to support countries with using the framework. ECDC commissioned the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) to update the framework through publication and dissemination of a technical report and a self-assessment tool linked to training resources. A mixed methods approach to gather input from experts in relevant specialities included qualitative interviews with 42 experts, workshops with ECDC Technical Advisory Group and an online survey of 212 public health professionals across Europe and beyond. Modifications resulted in 157 core competencies in 23 domains, each mapping to one of six subject areas of importance in applied infectious disease epidemiology. The framework serves as a basis to update the curriculum of the ECDC Fellowship programme with two alternative paths: intervention epidemiology or public health microbiology.
