Advanced training for doctors includes updating of professional knowledge; improvement of professional competencies and skills, which help to handle work situations correctly; forming psychological and pedagogical readiness and professional communicative competence. Modelling education process on the basis of andragogics principles lets a student as a subject of educational activity perceive things in a more profound way. This shows how andragogic principles affect training process of adults. We have singled out the requirements for doctors who want to participate in advanced training: Basic modern medical knowledge; search for expedient approaches to professional problems solution; striving for professional and personal perfection; motivation for ongoing renovation of knowledge; communicative competence in relations with patients and colleagues; creating professional image. A medical specialist image in contemporary society is evaluated on the basis of his/her professional competence and communication skills. Professional competence of a doctor comprises a stably high level of knowledge, skills and competencies, personal characteristics which are important to the profession and allow to work efficiently in the chosen field. Further improvement of professional competence depends directly on ever changing social and economic situation and integration of modern training methods into working activity. Within the limits of educational activity attention should be focused on modern methods of training which promote forming of basic medical and communication skills and competencies of a doctor. Currently we actively use problem-oriented methods like problem solving training, analysis of a concrete situation, role-playing games and business games, which inspire motivation for acquiring knowledge, skills and competencies – and this is one of objectives of the ongoing education. Motivation for studying improves efficiency of the studying activity. We have singled out the prerequisites for successful studying process. The studies program reflects the need of a doctor for development of communicative competence and psychological culture. Education forms and methods encourage development of communication competencies, psychological features as well as promote a favourable psychological climate - all this is important for professional communication. We are in favour of social and psychological climate encouraging personal development [goodwill, feeling of safety (no aggression and readiness to help), working efficiency, initiativity, cheerful mood and optimism]. Taking into consideration the fact that students in this training are adults, we have added the following characteristics to our model: freedom of actions in training process management, equality of students and teachers, awareness for the training process. Nowadays, we can see certain changes and a rising trend for use of innovative pedagogical techniques in many medical universities of Russia which offer postgraduate programs for doctors.
