It is established that the basic problem of a continuous medical education is economic. Problems of education of a bacteriologist are reflected in detail. It is shown that such specialities as bacteriologist and virologist require stationary training on profile departments for professional skill improvement, and elements of a continuous medical education can be considered only as additional. Recommendations of elimination of these limitations, which were generated in the course of optimization of educational process, are offered.
