Abstract:
Universities are an integral part of the communities in which they are located and linked by the practices of implementing various activities. Medical universities, whose mission is to contribute to public health, have especially tight connections with society. This paper discusses the specifics and perspectives of the third mission of the medical university in peacetime and during war using a specially designed survey.
It was determined that the social image of the medical university is provided by various socially oriented policies, primarily by providing medical aid to the population and conducting educational activities. The medical university is also a place for the continuous professional development of doctors and provides expert evaluation at the request of local authorities. Such a system of interaction has been established for years, and the process of collecting actual requests from the community needs to be adjusted and improved. Prospects for cooperation between the medical university and the community include the need to provide aid to the population that suffered as a result of russia’s armed aggression. Therefore, medical educational institutions, providing their main activity, will most likely become important centers for the rehabilitation of the wounded and providing them with psychological help. Thus, although the medical university has a lot of experience in cooperation with the community, this process could be improved by establishing a more constructive cooperation with society through the use of mechanisms developed and based on the appropriate regulatory framework that should meet the challenges of the time.
