In St. Petersburg, to create an independent association or regional offices nationwide associations in virtually all medical specialties. In 2003 at the initiative of several professional associations and major hospitals had been established Territorial Medical Association - Association of medical organizations in St. Petersburg, which today includes 18 public organizations in medical specialties. In the near future membership in the Association of medical organizations in St. Petersburg will receive the Association of physicians of St. Petersburg and the regional office of the Association of Nurses in Russia. Replying to questions the newspaper can say with certainty that the terms of the structure of the professional medical community of St. Petersburg is ready to defend their interests, and manage enterprise-wide professional activities by major medical specialties. Are there problems in the professional medical community of the city? Yes, they are. One of them - no "permanent residence" as a territorial medical associations, and the majority of associations of medical specialties. Colleagues from the foreign medical associations on this issue even came up with a sad joke, the meaning of which approximately as follows: in St. Petersburg house cobbler will appear before the House a physician or a teacher's house (meaning the building, which would be compactly housed offices of all medical associations). Currently preparing to appeal the leaders of medical associations in the name of the city of St. Petersburg governor for assistance in resolving this issue. Eryuhin Igor Alexandrovich - Chairman of the Association of Surgeons of St. Petersburg, corresponding member of Academy of Medical Sciences Association of Surgeons of St. Petersburg was founded in 1997 as a regional NGO. I can not say that, while understanding the role and tasks of professional associations in the work of physicians was the same as today. Popular at that time the idea of ??federalism, the "parade of sovereignties" subjects of the federation have created similar processes in the medical environment. The medical community has undergone a "parade of sovereignties" of medical specialties. In particular, in each region to form an association of medical specialties, including - and narrow profile (thoracoabdominal surgery, endovideosurgery, transplant, etc.) with their own statutes, goals, objectives, beyond the general idea of ??the management profession in each specialty across the country. We are amazed by the number of foreign colleagues, medical specialties (in most European countries, their number does not exceed 56-in Russia - more than 85-ty), the desire to develop professional standards for each specialty in each subject of the federation, the lack of professional associations designed programs of continuous post education, certification, insurance, occupational hazards of their members.
