title: [Continuous professional education of physicians in childhood and adolescence tuberculosis].
abstract: The current approaches to training pediatric phthisiatricians (phthisiopediatricians) are described. In the authors' opinion, completion of a clinical residency in not only phthisiology, but also in pediatrics is optimal to this group of specialists. The training programs for pediatric phthisiatricians differ in relation to the basic specialty: a phthisiatrician or a local phthisiatrician. Topical improvement may be made more frequently, it aims at upgrading qualification in more specialized section on phthisiology, and it is intended not only for pediatric phthisiatricians, but also for pediatricians of children's health care facilities. Training cycles in Moscow upgrades the quality of antituberculous work at the children's facilities. Difficulties in organizing the retraining of physicians of other specialties in phthisiology need normative resolution.
