In order to realize yourself as a specialist, to become competitive in the labor market, to be mobile, to have and expand your own career prospects, you need to persistently maintain, deepen, and improve your professional level throughout your professional career. The acquired professional education provides for and requires constant supplementation and updating of knowledge, skills and abilities, development of general and special competencies of a specialist in the chosen field of professional activity. Postgraduate education is aimed at solving these problems related to the continuous personal and professional development of graduates throughout their lives. To this end, it is necessary to create conditions in the educational environment for the realization of this task, both in material and technical, methodological and didactic, and in personnel and potential aspects. When studying the development of professional skills of nursing specialists, it is important that postgraduate educational services to students in institutions and structural subdivisions of professional undergraduate and graduate medical education are provided by research and teaching staff with a high level of professionalism, capable of implementing innovative educational technologies, providing methodological and didactic content to the educational process. That is why it is so important that educational service providers constantly work to improve their professional level, setting an example and following the Latin proverb: “Docendo discimus – by teaching we learn”.
