However, the shortage of such specialists is widely recognized, leading to an increase in disability and death, which account for up to 30% of the global burden of the national health service. In the work, which prepared by specialists from the centres of the cities Dnipro and Kiev, the issue of mastering the skills of reconstructive microsurgery by young specialists is considered. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of teaching methods at two bases in Ukraine and two bases in the European Union.At the current level of development of international educational programs of a specialized online community (international microsurgery club), it is possible to improve or master new techniques for a surgeon of any level of basic training. According to the price-quality criterion and geographical location, the Pius Branzeu Center laboratory (Romania), in the context of the globalization of the world economy and the integration of the European Union countries, can be considered as optimal centre for teaching basic skills for residents and young doctors.
