The project was developed in response to the reform of the healthcare and medical education system of Ukraine, the introduction of a competency-based approach, and international clinical standards. Project goal: Creation of a modern laboratory for the training of applicants for professional pre-higher education in the specialty I5 Nursing and retraining of junior medical specialists. Achieving the project goal is ensured by implementing a set of interrelated measures, in particular: 1. Updating the material and technical base through the acquisition of modern simulation, medical and educational equipment for practicing practical skills; 2. Creating and equipping a laboratory that is as close as possible to real clinical conditions; 3. Introducing innovative educational technologies, in particular simulation training and training forms of training; development of a dual form of education by combining training in an educational institution with practice in healthcare institutions; 4. Improving the skills of teaching staff, including through "train-the-trainer" (ToT) programs; 5. Involving practicing specialists (doctors, employees of the State Emergency Service, police, etc.) in the educational process; 6. Expanding cooperation with employers, concluding partnership agreements and organizing practical training for students; 7. Developing and implementing new short-term educational programs and advanced training courses; integrating digital technologies into the educational process; 8. The implementation of these measures in a complex will ensure an increase in the quality of medical personnel training, their competitiveness in the labor market and compliance with modern requirements of the healthcare system.

The existing material and technical base of the college is outdated and does not meet modern training requirements. Most of the training equipment is morally and physically outdated and does not allow for the full implementation of modern clinical scenarios. Today, the college does not have a platform on which students could learn to work with the needs of the military (burn injuries, mine and explosive injuries, amputations, PTSD, recovery during rehabilitation). The proposed project will create a platform for mass and continuous training of both students and cadets of advanced and specialization courses. Expected results of the project implementation: • Training of personnel that meet modern standards of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. • Increasing the practical readiness of graduates to work in civilian healthcare institutions, in emergency conditions and with military injuries. • Increasing trust in the college and the prestige of the profession. • Increasing the number of highly motivated students in the Kharkiv Regional Medical Professional College. • The ability to provide modern educational services to other medical institutions and regions.
