The article analyzes the mechanism of certification of doctors. A comparative characterization of the legislative framework, which regulates the certification of doctors, was carried out. It was found that the certification, which in its essence should be an assessment of the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the doctor, in practice is only the submission of documents confirming the obtained points of continuous professional development. A comprehensive approach is proposed in the form of increasing the requirements for doctors who are certified, taking into account during the certification of complaints received by doctors during their professional activities, and creating a mechanism for lowering and withdrawing qualification categories and the certificate of a specialist doctor.
Conclusions. The data analyzed in the article indicate that the assigned qualification does not always correspond to the level of training of doctors, which gives an understanding of the need for changes in the system of attestation of doctors, which will ensure the establishment of correspondence between the level of the qualification category and the actual level of the doctor’s qualification.
Therefore, a comprehensive approach is necessary in the form of increasing the requirements for certified doctors, taking into account during the certification of complaints received by doctors during their professional activities, creating a mechanism for lowering and withdrawing qualification categories or a certificate of a specialist doctor, which will have a positive effect on improving the quality of certification of doctors and, as a result, to improve the quality of medical care in general.
