TOMSK, Nov 30 –RIA Tomsk. The center of industrial medicine created on the basis of Siberian State Medical University (SSMU) will be able not only to train doctors for work in the Arctic, Antarctica and other areas, but also to train polar explorers and oil industry workers to work competently at emergency situations, one of founders of the center Sergey Antipov told.
It was reported earlier that SSMU plans to be the first in Russia who started training of physicians with certificates of the international sample for work in the conditions of the Arctic and offshore fields. The project is realized together with private "The center of corporate medicine" which is headed by Antipov.
"We obtained the license (for training), received the equipment, the personnel was trained in Europe – Poland and Norway. It was made quickly and effectively. Now we structure knowledge, we prepare for work", – Antipov told.
He didn't specify when the training begins. Thus Antipov reported that it is planned to prepare about 150 medics for the first year of work of the center. During the training they should learn how to work in the conditions of the Arctic or Kamchatka where the special equipment and special technologies of treatment is required because of low temperatures and isolation of industrial sites.He explained that according to the international standards not only the physicians have to pass special training but also all who work in specific areas: ordinary employees have to know, how to help a doctor, how to transport a victim, how to interact with the "continent". Now only the staff of the foreign companies passes similar training, however the Russian organizations think of it more often.

The center received 21 million rubles for equipment and about 1,5 million for training of experts in Poland and Norway.
