As defined by the World health organization, a paramedic (from German feldscher) is a medical professional who provides various medical services, limited to emergency treatment and the practice of ambulance. In Russia, on the one hand, the need for a paramedic is minimal and not relevant in big cities, on the other hand, this profession is in demand in remote areas and in rural areas due to the shortage of doctors there. This contradiction can be resolved when training a paramedic in the framework of higher education at the bachelor’s level “General medicine”. The purpose of this work was to structure the qualification characteristics of a paramedic, for which we analyzed the international experience of training and assessing the professional qualifications of a paramedic, the work functions performed by a paramedic and a general practitioner and the prospects for the development of a paramedic’s competence, prepared within the framework of the educational program bachelor’s degree “General medicine”.
