Winter Professional School on Law, Ethics, and Management in Healthcare: Synergy of Knowledge for Practical ApplicationOn February 26-27, a large-scale event took place at Kyiv Medical University – the Winter Professional School of Kyiv Medical University on Law, Ethics, and Management in Healthcare. It brought together over 100 participants (in-person and online) – heads of medical institutions, doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, scientists, representatives of civil society, and students. After all, today it is no longer enough to be a good doctor or pharmacist to succeed – one needs to possess managerial and digital competencies, understand issues of medical law, and be able to resolve ethical dilemmas. The event began with the State Anthem of Ukraine, and the welcoming and introductory words set everyone up for fruitful work. Participants were greeted by:
The moderator of the event was Radmyla HREVTSOVA, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and Health Studies at Kyiv Medical University, Governor of the World Association for Medical Law (Ukraine), PhD (Law), Professor, and Advocate.

Ivan SOROKA, obstetrician-gynecologist, therapist, President of the Ukrainian Medical Club, and Professor at the Department of Medical Support Organization of the Ukrainian Military Medical Academy, spoke about the characteristics and evidence of a “brand-doctor.” After the presentation, he answered numerous questions from participants: “Should a doctor maintain a TikTok?”, “How to react to hate on social media?”, “Can social media addiction affect a doctor’s psychological well-being?” “A doctor’s brand is formed through three things: the quality of clinical decisions, participation in professional events, and the doctor’s willingness to share experience and learn,” emphasized Serhiy SOSHYNSKYI, Master of Business Administration, Master of Psychology, President of the “Health of the Ukrainian Nation” International Charitable Foundation and CEO of the continuous professional development platform for doctors accemedin.com.
