Such issues arose from many reasons, but we can highlight the most important ones. First of all, the medical training management depends on the country’s leadership perspective on the system of training of medical personnel in general and on the place and role of military medicine in the Army and Navy structure. In this case, regardless of the social system, there has been imbalance, e.g. excessive militarization of education to the detriment of students (cadets) acquiring special knowledge and the discarding of all military medical disciplines from the curriculum. Some issues, including underfunding, protectionism, and other factors, are permanent and have been traced back to more than three centuries. Another threat is ill-conceived pedagogical experiments. As history is cyclical, awareness of the problems we faced in relation to medical training development in the past, along with methods of addressing them by our predecessors and their effects may be indispensable for making new decisions regarding the development of the Russian military medical education.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье анализируется эволюция проблем, возникавших на пути становления и развития отечественного военно-медицинского образования. Появление данных проблем было связано со множеством причин, но среди таковых можно отметить наиболее важные. Прежде всего, это зависимость организации подготовки военных врачей от взглядов руководства страны на систему подготовки медицинских кадров в целом и на место и роль военной медицины в структуре армии и флота. В данном случае вне зависимости от социального строя имели место перекосы как в сторону излишней военизации учебного процесса в ущерб приобретению студентами (курсантами) специальных знаний, так и в сторону полного неприятия включения в учебную программу военно-медицинских дисциплин. Ряд проблем, таких как недофинансирование, протекционизм и др., носят перманентный характер и прослеживаются на протяжении более трех столетий. Не меньшую опасность представляют и непродуманные эксперименты в области педагогики. Поскольку история имеет циклический характер, знание проблем, появлявшихся в процессе развития подготовки военных врачей в прошлом, и способов их решения, которые находили наши предшественники, равно как и последствий таковых, может послужить неоценимым подспорьем при принятии новых решений в области развития отечественного военно-медицинского образования.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>military medical education</kwd><kwd>physician</kwd><kwd>doctor</kwd><kwd>training of military medical personnel</kwd><kwd>mistakes</kwd><kwd>expertise</kwd><kwd>hospital schools</kwd><kwd>medicine and surgery schools</kwd><kwd>Military Medical Academy</kwd><kwd>teaching</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>военно-медицинское образование</kwd><kwd>лекарь</kwd><kwd>доктор</kwd><kwd>подготовка военно-медицинского персонала</kwd><kwd>ошибки</kwd><kwd>опыт</kwd><kwd>госпитальные школы</kwd><kwd>медико-хирургические училища</kwd><kwd>Военно-медицинская академия</kwd><kwd>преподавание</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Pavlovsky EN.
