The profession of "doctor" has long been respected and revered among the inhabitants of our state. But doctors are different, it depends on the medical specialization of their work. This article will focus on military doctors and the difficulties of this profession.

The specifics of the profession of a military doctor

This profession appeared a long time ago, back in the days of ancient egypt, that is, as soon as people began to fight, the need arose for the treatment of wounded soldiers. Therefore, civilian doctors took up the service of military formations, who had to gradually retrain in the military, taking into account the specific features of military service.

There are two main requirements for a modern specialist in this profession:

1. Medical education.
2. Officer rank.

But also a military doctor in Russian army can be called not only an officer, but also:

• ensign (paramedic);
• sergeant (sanitary instructor);
• private (nurse).

But only a military officer who has a diploma of medical education (for example, a colonel of the medical service) can hold a position in this specialization.

Military doctors are able to realize their professional abilities in two directions:

• organizational - this is to a greater extent managerial work, with the help of which the organization of the work of medical centers (including medical companies and service units) is carried out, their duties also include the purchase of medicines and medical preparations;
• medical - practical treatment of needy patients in military hospitals (these are mainly residents and specialized doctors of a certain specialization).

Both of these areas of this profession have their own nuances, which are honed by a graduate of a military medical university directly at the workplace.

Receiving an appropriate education

Experts say that there are several options for training, as a result of which it becomes possible to get the profession of "military doctor".

1. Enter one of the medical universities with a military specialization (that is, a medical school must have military department, for example, Tomsk Medical University) and receive a diploma with a mark on obtaining not only the profession of a doctor, but also an officer's rank.
2. Enter and complete civil medical educational institution, then go to contract military service (although this must be done before the age of 35).

So, in our state there is a wonderful educational institution, which just releases military doctors from its walls. This is the Russian Military Medical Academy. S. M. Kirov (VmedA named after Kirov), which is located in St. Petersburg. Here you can, already acting, determine the direction of this profession by faculties:

• nautical;
• flight;
• land.

The basic training takes six years, after which the student, having passed the appropriate examinations for professional compliance, will receive not only a medical diploma, but also the military rank of lieutenant. Then there is the possibility of additional education - internship.

To become a military doctor, a student will have to make a lot of efforts, because, in addition to the difficulties of mastering medical wisdom, he will also have to get involved in the hardships of service in the Russian army:

• combat and physical training;
• barracks position (on the first two courses);
• compliance with a strict regime;
• field specialized exercises (conducted after the second year);
• obligatory wearing of uniform;
• knowledge of the statute.

Demand and prospects of the profession "military doctor"

Qualified specialists of this profession have always been in great demand, especially during the period of hostilities. In addition, it is also promising, because there is an opportunity for professional career growth. At the same time, you can engage in medical practice or go “into science” (that is, engage in scientific activities).

Also, after the end of the period of the first contract (usually it is concluded for five years), a military doctor can retrain as a civilian doctor. Such retraining is allowed even before the end of the contract period, but at the same time, a monetary compensation payment in the form of a forfeit to the state is stipulated, and this is a decent amount (its size should be judged at least by the cost of the issued clothing allowance, which will have to be reimbursed).

Advantages and disadvantages of the profession "military doctor"

Every profession has its advantages and disadvantages. This also applies to military doctors, who become representatives of both sexes - both men and women.

The main advantages of this specialty attract more and more new recruits to the ranks of professional military doctors. This is:

• prestige;
• respect;
• promising career growth;
• regular improvement of qualification categories on a free basis;
• government-provided benefits (for example, early retirement);
• social bonuses in the form of cash bonuses.

But, seduced by honor and high pay for dangerous work, not every military doctor can withstand the "cons" of this profession. Here they are:

• difficulties with a permanent place of residence, which often has to be changed due to constant moving;
• alarm calls, regardless of the time of day and working hours;
• business trips to hot spots where hostilities are taking place;
• difficult working conditions (especially if the front or the line of fire is close).

Such nuances and costs of such a profession can frighten anyone, but there are people who devote their whole life and strength to this business.

Duties to be performed by a military officer

Even from the very name of this profession, it becomes clear that the main duty of a military doctor is to save lives and treat various diseases soldiers and conscripts, and in wartime, the wounded.

But that's not all, there are other duties that a military doctor performs, both in peacetime and in military conditions:

1. Provides drugs and medical supplies military unit in which it works.
2. Performs sanitary and hygienic supervision.
3. Carries out preventive measures.
4. Carries out anti-epidemic work.
5. Supervises medical examinations for professional suitability of soldiers and officers of the military.

How to become a military doctor?

A military doctor is not an easy profession; in order to become a specialist in this field, it is necessary, first of all, to have endurance, military discipline, and outstanding knowledge. Many military doctors from a young age are accustomed to military life, most of them graduate from military lyceums before entering the university.

After receiving a certificate of secondary education, a person who plans to become a military doctor must enter a medical university.

It takes time to train a qualified specialist - six years of study, and one or two years of internship. In addition, any doctor should regularly improve his qualifications, since medical science does not stand still, you should be aware of new treatment methods.

The first four courses of study can take place at any medical institute, but in the fifth year you should transfer to the military medical faculty (for example, to the St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy).

Military doctors study subjects important for the military (surgery, radiology, toxicology, military field therapy) in more depth, but the diploma is practically no different from a civilian doctor.

The practice of cadets of military medical universities takes place at the place of service, often young doctors have to undergo an internship in the conditions of hostilities, remote garrisons.

Where do they study to become a military doctor?

A military doctor can take the first four courses of study at any medical university. In the fifth year, it is necessary to apply for transfer to an institute that has a faculty for the training of military doctors. The most famous are the St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy. Kirov, State Belarusian Medical University, National Medical University. Bogomolets in Kyiv.

Future military doctors are trained at the Faculty of Military Medical Affairs. In the fifth year, cadets study in more depth the subjects necessary for the work of military medical personnel. Young professionals learn how to act and provide the necessary medical care for gunshot wounds, poisoning with toxic substances, radiation exposure, etc.

After studying the theory, a young military doctor is sent to practice in military units, where for several years, under the guidance of a supervisor, he will learn to apply the knowledge gained at the institute in practice, in conditions of real military service.

Ranks of military doctors

After graduating from the Military Medical Academy or university, a military doctor receives the rank of lieutenant of the medical service.

Day of the military doctor

A military doctor celebrates his professional holiday together with other medical workers. Day of the health worker is celebrated on the third Sunday of June.

Conscription of doctors for military service

A military doctor after graduating from the medical academy is sent to serve on a contract basis. After the end of the contract, you can either extend the term of service or leave the armed forces.

Benefits for military doctors

A military doctor after 10 years of service has the right to enroll in a queue for free housing.

Benefits are not provided if the doctor left the service after the end of the first contract, however, if the dismissal was due to a layoff or illness, the benefits remain.

Benefits are earned by military doctors throughout their service life. After 20 years of service, the doctor is entitled to a salary after leaving the armed forces, medical care (including family members), etc.

Certification of military doctors

A military doctor undergoes mandatory certification, which is an important form of material and moral incentives for personnel. Certification is carried out according to the national nomenclature, taking into account the requirements and characteristics of doctors.

The first certification is held at a military medical university, before receiving a diploma. Cadets who successfully passed the certification receive a diploma of higher full education in their specialty and master's qualifications.

Then, after a certain period of time, doctors undergo certification to assign a qualification category and to confirm the qualification category.

A military doctor is not an easy profession, on his shoulders lies the medical support of the Armed Forces, including medical and preventive work, anti-epidemiological measures, sanitary and hygienic control, medical supply, etc.

If you work in some government agencies, then you may be entitled to a deferment from the army for work. Such a requirement is put forward by our legislation, since qualified personnel of such institutions are needed in our daily life and, often, there is no one to replace them.

All citizens who have a similar right to a delay can be divided into two conditional categories - employees of institutions that ensure the safety of the population and employees of scientific and social organizations. Here detailed video about who is entitled to a deferment from the army and how to get it:

This article will examine in detail citizens working in the following professions:

• Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• Physicians working in public health facilities;
• Teachers teaching in schools;
• Athletes.

For all the above categories of citizens, the following questions will be considered:

• Are they entitled to a deferment from the army for work;
• If yes, on what grounds.

Also, the article will be supplemented by an extensive list of enterprises, work in which gives the right to a deferment.

For employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Those who work in the police are entitled to a deferment from the army. It is valid for the duration of your employment. That is, up to 27 years, provided that you work and do not quit. But there are a few mandatory items, the absence of which excludes the right to a delay. Here they are:

The employee must have completed higher specialized education- he must graduate from one of the universities that trains personnel for the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
He must go to work in the police immediately after he finishes his studies at the university;
He must have a special rank.

In the absence of at least one of the above conditions, a person is subject to conscription for military service.

For medical professionals

Doctors who work in hospitals and other medical organizations are not eligible for deferment from the army.

Military service after residency

Earlier it was reported that rural doctors would be given such an opportunity, however, in March 2016, the State Duma of the Russian Federation rejected these amendments to the law.

Therefore, doctors working in medicine have only one way to avoid being drafted. It is as follows. If you are just graduating from college, then you should go to study in one of the programs of postgraduate professional education - This can be an internship, residency or graduate school. In this case, you will be granted a deferment from the army for the entire period of study. Moreover, if you enter graduate school and, having successfully completed it, receive the title of candidate of sciences, then you will be completely exempted from conscription.

If you do not have the opportunity to enter a higher educational institution, then you, as a doctor, will be subject to conscription into the Russian troops.

For educators teaching in a village or city

For teachers, Russian legislation, unfortunately, does not provide a deferment from the army. Despite the proposals of the deputies of some factions State Duma, the relevant bill allowing rural teachers not to serve in the military, was rejected on March 17, 2015. Teachers from schools in large cities were not granted such a right either.

Educators can be exempted from conscription in the same way as doctors. Namely, after the end Pedagogical University under the bachelor's program to go to study at the magistracy, and after graduation to graduate school. In this case, you will not be able to be taken into the army during the entire period of study.

For athletes

In November 2012, Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko promised that athletes would be granted a deferment from military service, however, since then the situation has not been clarified. In the current version of Article 24 of the Federal Law "On military duty and military service", which regulates this process, there is no mention of athletes. Therefore, we can draw the following conclusion - athletes are subject to conscription on a general basis.

List of enterprises where you will not serve

Some enterprises give their employees the opportunity not to serve in the troops of the RF Armed Forces. Here is a list of these companies:

Company / Profession		Valid + / Not valid -

However, our conversation with the head of the Military Medical Academy, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant-General of the Medical Service Boris Gaidar, concerned not so much the indisputable achievements of the oldest military university as unresolved problems, development prospects.

- Boris Vsevolodovich, it is known that military doctors are trained in several other Russian universities. What is the difference between the educational process within the walls of the Military Medical Academy?
- Only in the Military Medical Academy, military doctors are trained from the first year to the seventh. All others take cadets to the fifth year after the student has studied for four years.
The Academy is the only medical school in the country that provides higher military education at the Faculty of Leadership Training. In general, in overall structure All three faculties for the training of future doctors provide approximately 10 percent of graduates from the pedagogical activities of the academy. Because the majority of trainees are already doctors who improve their qualifications with us from 3 months to 3 years.
Today, the academy has a highly qualified teaching staff. Among the scientists are 52 academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and other domestic and foreign academies, 14 honored scientists of the Russian Federation, over 300 doctors and over 800 candidates of sciences. These people have something to pass on to the youth.
Moreover, the Academy has been striving for all seven years not only to teach, but also to educate young man. Starting from the instillation of patriotism and ending with faculty patriotism, cadets from the first days are brought up in the spirit of devotion ground forces, Air Force, Navy, Airborne Forces. Note: there are practically no people willing to move from faculty to faculty.
— This summer I had a chance to visit the training center of the academy during the “Frontier-2004” exercise. The cadets skillfully acted in the difficult situation of modern combat ...
— We train doctors for military extreme medicine. This is done by 8 departments, which do not exist in other medical universities. In particular, operational-tactical training, physiology of diving, aerospace medicine and a number of others. It is no coincidence that we have 1,500 more teaching hours than any other civil medical university. Cadets spend a lot of time in the field, participate in the annual Frontier exercise. Cadets of the faculty of training doctors for the Ground, Missile Forces and Airborne Forces jump with a parachute, this is included in compulsory program. Every future Navy doctor undergoes a training with an exit from a submarine from a 30-meter depth through a torpedo tube. As a result, the graduate is able to act reasonably and calmly in an extreme situation. Meanwhile, the diplomas of our graduates are exactly the same as those of civilian colleagues. During the period of licensing and accreditation, we raised the question of how to consolidate the existing de facto situation legally: in principle, a person should be given a second diploma as a doctor of military extreme medicine.
In the meantime, a paradoxical situation arises. We have a faculty for the training of civilian doctors, where these 1,500 hours are missing in the program. But the first two courses for both cadets and students are absolutely identical, so we have the opportunity to transfer a student to one of the faculties for training military doctors at the expense of vacant places. Naturally, at the same time he will pass the camp collection, take the military oath. But starting from the third year, the program is different, and we cannot legally accept such a transfer. Meanwhile, our recent student graduates from the academy, goes to the military registration and enlistment office, is called up and begins to serve in the army or navy in the same rank, and sometimes in the same unit where our graduate, who has been wearing a uniform for seven years, is already serving. It turns out that they graduated from the same military university, but the level of training is significantly different. Nonsense. A person is not trained to work in an extreme environment. For many officials, the situation is clear, but, unfortunately, over these three years, the matter has not been moved from a dead center. By and large, it is necessary to restore justice, so we will deal with this problem in the future.
— In civilian universities, including those in St. Petersburg, one often heard from teachers complaining about the fact that the general education level of applicants had noticeably decreased. Did this problem affect your academy too?

Do they take a working doctor into the army

- Intelligent guys traditionally aspire to us, the competition is big. Before passing the entrance exams, applicants go through a psychophysiological selection. This, as practice shows, drastically reduces the number random people among the cadets. Although, to be frank, there are still cases of disappointment: in a year, in two or three years ...
- What is it connected with?
- First of all, with the fact that a person grows up and at the age of 21 - 22 begins to think about his future life. The prospects, like those of every officer, are not so bright today. When a young lieutenant receives a monetary allowance of 4.5-5 thousand rubles at best, and he has a wife and a small child in his arms, then the problems are obvious. Yes, and studying at the academy, the cadet is aware that the chief specialist of the Ministry of Defense, head of the department, colonel, professor, having served 30 years, receives 9 thousand rubles. And on St. Petersburg television there is an advertisement: they are invited to work at the Electropult enterprise, where the salary is from 20 thousand and more. Unfortunately, some undergraduates become frustrated with chosen path. Not always in the profession, but in the military path.
Therefore, until the issues of increasing the social protection of military personnel, especially young officers, are not truly resolved on a national scale, we will lose people. And often not the worst.
— I know that two or three years ago you at the academy approached the issue of early dismissal of cadets from a legal standpoint?
- This step had to be taken when 78 out of three hundred graduates wrote a report, mainly with the motivation of insufficient monetary allowance.

It turns out that we, preparing a military doctor, worked in vain. But they turned the tide, winning most of the civil courts. Several people who did not comply with the decision of the district court were prosecuted - within a year they were all convicted by a military court. They were obliged to serve the prescribed five years after graduation from the academy. Tough stance? Perhaps, but we must stand up for the protection of the interests of the Russian state. The measure of influence was forced, but our correctness was confirmed by life: over the past two years, not a single unfounded report has been received. No one! And then it was 78 ...
But it is also clear that further improvement of the legislative base, adapted to the realities of military universities, is required. It should be like this: if a person wants to quit, then let him leave, but on one condition - reimburse the material costs incurred by the state for your training. And they are very important in our academy.
— How acute is the problem with teaching staff?
- It exists, but not as acute as in other military universities. It is somewhat easier for us in the sense that a military doctor at almost any age will always find a job in a “civilian”. Therefore, most of our teachers do not have mental anxiety, fuss about their future - no cardinal changes are foreseen in the main profession. Many of our former colleagues who have reached the age of retirement are successfully working in the administrative structures of health care, educational institutions, hospitals and clinics.
— How is the program for the revival of the Military Medical Academy being implemented?
- By the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 17, 1998, in connection with the 200th anniversary of its founding, the Military Medical Academy was included in the State Code of Especially Valuable Cultural Heritage Objects of the Peoples of the Russian Federation. In St. Petersburg, the State Hermitage Museum, the Russian Museum, the Mariinsky Theater have this status - a total of 12 objects. Significant funds were allocated to us - objects of national heritage must be adequately maintained.
Now the first stage of reconstruction and re-equipment is being completed. Already today the academy is the most medical and scientific institution in the world rich with modern equipment and technologies. In addition to the funds of the Presidential Program, it was possible to attract funds from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Government and the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg. This made it possible not only to bring to a qualitative new level equipment of clinics, but also to reconstruct the premises. From the wretchedness that existed over the past few decades, managed to largely move away. It is enough to visit the clinics of ophthalmology, neurosurgery, urology, gynecology and others. The equipment of classrooms is being improved, which allows teaching at the modern level. In the near future, the academy's own computer network will be commissioned in full.
Although there is still a lot of work ahead. After all, the academy is not only 19.5 thousand people who work, study or are treated with us. Suffice it to say that we have over 300 buildings, 70 percent of which were built over 200 years ago. Dozens of kilometers of power grids and other engineering communications. That is, the reconstruction work is multifaceted and urgent.
We have like-minded people who solve the same problem. At the same time, everyone gives all the best, works with maximum efficiency. I can't even name this team. The result of intense joint work is obvious: for last years managed to change for the better both the external appearance of the academy and its internal content. Those who come to study with us will end up in a modern educational institution, where real professionals are still being trained.
- In conclusion, a question of a slightly different plan. It is known that the work of a doctor is associated with stressful situations, tension. Apparently, it is no coincidence that many doctors devote rare hours of leisure to their hobbies. What do you think about it?
- I manage to “switch” while driving a car - this is a good outlet after a working day. I noticed that it’s worth returning home after a hard day’s work in a company car - I come home empty, I can’t do anything. If on your own, then half an hour spent behind the wheel invigorates, gives strength - this is a way to relax.
I think that every person intellectual labor cannot be blindsided by one thing. And my colleagues have different hobbies: some paint, others are engaged in woodcarving, others are avid collectors. At the department of anesthesiology, the guys equipped a whole gallery of artistic photographs taken by doctors. Colleagues write good poems. Doctors are generally versatile people.

A paramedic is a specialist with a specialized secondary medical education who independently accepts, diagnoses and treats patients, and in difficult cases refers them for consultation to doctors of specialized specialties.

After medical school in the army

"Field barbers" ("feldscher") were responsible for the state of health of the soldiers, helped the wounded on the battlefield, and provided first aid. Then, their duties began to include the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, prevention, and the creation of new methods of therapy without age and gender limits. At that time, the concepts of a paramedic and a doctor were very close and did not have fundamental differences. Gradually, doctors emerged as a more status and highly qualified group of medical specialists, while primary diagnostics, pre-medical care and delivery were left to the share of paramedics. However, paramedics and doctors are often equally competent in medicine.
