Mentoring for doctors remains without federal funding - the Ministry of Health recommends printing certificates of honor and laudatory posts on social networks for doctors from March 1, 2026, a de facto forced service was introduced for doctors and graduates of medical universities. A young doctor who comes to a medical organization must receive some kind of "mentor" from more experienced doctors. Appointed tutor only with written consent. The condition is the same specialization as the trainee and five years of experience. Both the head of the clinic and his deputy can "guide". The positions are fixed in an employment contract or additional agreement, and appointment, replacement and dismissal occur through an invitation from the manager. Also, he appoints someone who is responsible for the accompaniment at the clinic. You can work with your mentee in person or remotely. Duration - between one and a half to three years. Without training, it is not possible to pass periodic certification, which is carried out every five years. After the work is completed, documents can be submitted according to the file: 144 hours of training, a work report and "Information on completion of mentoring" - the official form of the Ministry of Health, which is filled out by the Human Resources Division. If you do not arrive in time for periodic certification, you will have to take an initial or initial specialist certification according to the full program, like a graduate, with tests, practical skills practice and situational tasks. What is not wasted is not burned, but enters the cycle of the next five years. Seven days after the end of the term, the mentor submits a report to the director, and after its approval, it is attached to the mentor's personal file. Twice a year, by January 1 and July 1, the regions are obliged to publish on the official websites lists of clinics with mentorships and vacancies in them. Areas should have hotlines to answer questions about mentoring. The remuneration of the mentors also raised questions among deputies. "The data presented to us are surprising," said Deputy Yuri Rubko in the State Duma Committee for Health Protection.
