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.
In turn, the deputy governor on the
scientific educational complex and innovative policy Mikhail Sonkin reported
that the project is supported by the regional innovative cluster
"Pharmaceutics, medical equipment and information technologies". The
center received 21 million rubles for equipment and about 1,5 million for
training of experts in Poland and Norway.
