In such hubs of industrial activity, the issues of worker health protection are acquiring strategic importance. Provision of medical care in remote and hard-to-reach locations is impossible without specially trained medical personnel capable of functioning efficiently in autonomous conditions [1–7].</p><p>However, the system of personnel training for providing medical services in such conditions remains underdeveloped. The nomenclature of medical specialties is currently lacking a “maritime (shipboard) medicine” track. In addition, the professional standard for a “shipboard medical worker” requires revision. The existing qualification requirements are limited to the profiles of “general practice,” “therapy,” and “surgery,” which only partially correspond to the range of tasks faced by a health post physician serving at an offshore facility.</p><p>Medical personnel at offshore facilities are expected to effectively perform the functions of both a general practitioner, surgeon, anesthesiologist–intensivist, and public health physician, working under conditions of limited resources and the absence of a possibility of rapid evacuation to shore. However, the current system of postgraduate education does not include specialized training that accounts for the specifics of working in Arctic maritime conditions. This creates a deficit of critically important competencies for providing advanced medical care, conducting sanitary-epidemiological control, and organizing evacuation in the setting of complete autonomy and extreme climatic factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit8">8</xref>].</p><p>Facing a shortage of specialists, employers are forced to independently develop personnel requirements and training programs. Major oil and gas companies are creating corporate standards that include mandatory courses in industrial and extreme medicine, sanitary-epidemiological control, and telemedicine interaction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit9">9</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit10">10</xref>]. While such initiatives partially compensate for legal and educational gaps, they are fragmented in nature and cannot replace an integrated approach to training physicians capable of safeguarding worker health in conditions of isolation and autonomy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit11">11</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit12">12</xref>].</p><p>In this study, we set out to analyze and generalize the regulatory, organizational, and personnel requirements for medical staff operating health posts at offshore facilities of the Arctic Shelf, with the subsequent development of proposals for establishing a unified physician training system. To that end, the following research objectives are set:</p></sec><sec><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><p>The search for scientific literature was conducted via electronic bibliographic databases in the Russian (eLibrary, CyberLeninka) and English (Scopus, Google Scholar) languages. In addition, regulatory documents from the ConsultantPlus legal reference system and official governmental websites were analyzed.</p><p>The study employed an analytical research method, which included the examination and comparison of regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation governing the organization of medical support on marine vessels and facilities of the Arctic Shelf (Federal Laws, Orders of the Ministry of Health of Russia, the Ministry of Labor of Russia, the Ministry of Transport of Russia, the FMBA of Russia, etc.), current orders and draft regulatory documents defining qualification requirements for medical specialists, the procedure for licensing medical activities, as well as regulations governing the operation of health posts.</p><p>The research involved an analysis of regulatory and methodological documents published in 2010–2025, draft professional standards and methodological recommendations from the FMBA of Russia, as well as internal regulations and technical specifications from oil and gas sector companies. Additionally, statistical data on the provision of all types of medical care at offshore structures was examined. Particular attention was paid to materials concerning the medical evacuation of workers to onshore healthcare facilities, with an assessment of the frequency, timelines, and outcomes of evacuation operations.</p></sec><sec><title>RESULTS AND DISCUSSION</title></sec><sec><title>Identified issues</title><p>The key challenge in organizing medical care at health posts on offshore structures, including marine oil platforms and support vessels, remains the provision of these facilities with qualified medical personnel capable of delivering the full range of medical services, including emergency2 care, under conditions of remoteness from onshore infrastructure and limited resources [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit13">13</xref>].</p><p>A physician at such a facility must be prepared to perform functions that extend far beyond standard primary health care. These imply providing intensive therapy, maintaining vital functions until evacuation, conducting pre-shift medical examinations and, if necessary, testing for alcohol, narcotic, and other toxic substance use, implementing preventive measures, monitoring the sanitary-hygienic condition of production areas, common areas, food service, and water supply, and organizing medical triage in mass casualty incidents [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit14">14</xref>]. In the Arctic zone, where medical evacuation can take up to several days, such competencies become critically important for ensuring industrial safety and preserving workers’ lives [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit15">15</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit16">16</xref>].</p><p>In the Russian nomenclature of specialties approved by Order No. 700n3, the specialty “Maritime (Shipboard) Medicine” is absent, which hinders the formation of a comprehensive personnel training system. Nevertheless, Order No. 205n4 establishes the position of a “Physician on Shipboard”, and Order No. 206n5 sets qualification requirements allowing specialists with certification in general medical practice, therapy, or surgery to hold this position. The General Medical Practice program provides the physician with interdisciplinary knowledge — from therapy and surgery to psychiatry, infectious diseases, and occupational pathology — which is crucial in conditions of limited access to specialized care.</p><p>At the Prirazlomnaya platform (the only onsite ice-resistant oil platform in the Russian Arctic), extensive experience has been accumulated in organizing the work of an anesthesiologist–resuscitator6 and obtaining the corresponding license to provide specialized medical care under the conditions of high industrial risks [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit17">17</xref>].</p><p>The absence of an approved professional standard for a “shipboard medical specialist” requires the employers to independently formulate additional qualification requirements for physicians in the technical specifications for medical services. Consequently, alongside the mandatory requirements of a higher medical education in General Medicine, a valid certificate (accreditation), and confirmed practical experience of at least five years, there is a need for targeted additional training programs. These programs must ensure the physician’s readiness for autonomous work at offshore facilities under conditions of remoteness and a high level of occupational risks [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit8">8</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit13">13</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit18">18</xref>].</p></sec><sec><title>Mandatory qualification requirements for medical personnel working at offshore health posts</title><p>Appointment to the position of a health post physician at an offshore facility requires the specialist to possess a higher medical education degree, confirmed by a valid license (or certificate of accreditation), and practical experience in the relevant specialty for at least five years after obtaining the specialist physician certificate. Priority is given to experience working in a remote health post of an industrial enterprise, which assumes the physician’s readiness to perform professional duties in conditions of autonomy and limited resources [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit13">13</xref>].</p><p>The qualification level of medical personnel must strictly comply with the legislative requirements outlined in Order No. 541n7. Additionally, the physician is required to possess a specialist certificate or a state-accredited specialist credential, which must conform to the provisions of the professional standards for paramedics and physicians, as defined by Orders No. 470n8, No. 293n9, and No. 743n10. Modern practice emphasizes the importance of not only formal certification but also the alignment of specialists with professional and psychophysiological criteria. In particular, the physician must demonstrate stress resistance and be in a physical condition that allows them to perform procedures requiring rapid and precise motor coordination.</p><p>Particular attention is paid to the physician’s readiness to provide emergency medical care. In accordance with Orders No. 911n11, No. 543n12, and No. 252n13, the specialist is required to possess up-to-date knowledge and practical skills in resuscitation and intensive care. This includes the ability to:</p><p>The physician must be proficient in securing airway patency using alternative techniques and master the protocols for the diagnosis and emergency management of:</p><p>Furthermore, the health post specialist is required to:</p><p>Practical activities of such specialists require them to:</p><p>A crucial element of competencies is the ability to perform immobilization for bone fractures, spinal injuries, and crush syndrome14 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit13">13</xref>].</p><p>The professional duties of medical personnel at offshore health posts extend beyond therapeutic and diagnostic activities. The physician is responsible for:</p><p>Additionally, the physician ensures:</p><p>Regular completion of occupational health and safety briefings and knowledge assessments in this area are also an important part of their professional activity.15</p><p>The health post physician must be proficient in differential diagnosis techniques and provide qualified medical care for injuries, poisonings, and other emergency conditions [19–21]. They are responsible for monitoring the inventory of necessary medical supplies at the health post, recognizing the symptomatology of diseases related to long-term exposure to occupational hazards, and facilitating their early detection. The set of required competencies includes organizing the evacuation of casualties to medical facilities, arranging consultations with specialists via communication means, and facilitating the hospitalization of patients in specialized departments16 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit21">21</xref>].</p><p>Planning and organizing therapeutic and preventive work holds a significant place. The physician develops an annual operational plan for the health post, ensures its implementation, conducts activities for the early diagnosis and treatment of general and occupational diseases, and analyzes the structure of morbidity and injuries. On this basis, the specialist submits proposals for reducing occupational risks and developing preventive programs. The specialist also conducts dynamic monitoring of workers’ health, assesses the quality of medical examinations, and participates in bringing working conditions into compliance with sanitary standards [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit22">22</xref>].</p><p>Thus, the qualification requirements for medical personnel at health posts integrate formal legal norms, clinical competencies, and organizational tasks. The physician at an industrial health post acts not only as a clinician but also as a manager of the medical process, an analyst of morbidity, and a participant in the occupational health and safety system. The versatility of their training and the continuous improvement of practical skills become key conditions for ensuring worker health and maintaining industrial safety.</p></sec><sec><title>Additional requirements, skills, and competencies for medical personnel</title><p>In the current context of providing medical care at industrial enterprise health posts, the systematic additional training of medical personnel is of particular importance. A physician working in remote and resource-limited settings is obliged not only to meet formal qualification requirements but also to regularly confirm their level of practical skills through specialized training. International and domestic experience indicates that simulation-based courses are a key tool for maintaining professional readiness. These courses provide the opportunity to replicate clinical scenarios and practice action algorithms for life-threatening conditions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit23">23</xref>].</p><p>A mandatory requirement for health post physicians must be training at accredited educational centers with a frequency of at least once every two years. The result of completing such training is the receipt of a certificate or credential, which, while not a state-issued document, confirms the mastery of modern algorithms for providing emergency care at the pre-hospital stage. This form of continuing education ensures the maintenance and updating of knowledge in accordance with current clinical guidelines and international standards [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit2">2</xref>].</p><p>Of particular importance is the foundational level of training, represented by courses in life support, specifically the “Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation” program.17 This training entails mastering techniques for basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the safe use of an automated external defibrillator, as well as algorithms for providing first aid in cases of airway obstruction and drowning. The duration of such training is typically up to eight academic hours, serving as a minimum competency requirement for a health post physician.</p><p>A more preferable direction is advanced training within the “Advanced Resuscitation Measures” course18,19,20 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit24">24</xref>]. These programs develop skills in advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation as part of a physician–nursing team, teach the differentiation and treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias, the interpretation of ECG monitoring, and the application of modern methods for securing airway patency. The duration of such training in this case is up to 16 hours, enabling the integration of the physician into interdisciplinary pre-hospital care protocols.</p><p>An integral component of training for physicians at health posts of remote industrial facilities is mastering trauma care algorithms within the course entitled “Advanced Pre-Hospital Trauma Care.”21 This course equips specialists with competencies for stabilizing the condition of trauma patients, ensuring control over vital functions, and preparing for medical evacuation. The program’s practical focus and its duration of up to 16 hours, preparing the health post physician to act effectively in situations involving polytrauma and mass casualty incidents.</p><p>Furthermore, the mandatory training program includes courses on:</p><p>These skills become particularly critical in the absence of specialized consultants and the need for rapid decision making at an isolated facility.</p><p>In accordance with licensing requirements, a health post physician must possess additional certifying competencies, confirmed by valid certificates. Mandatory certifications include:</p><p>Thus, the regular completion of additional educational programs and simulation training equips health post physicians with a comprehensive set of professional and organizational competencies that align with international standards for delivering medical care in remote settings. Systematic continuing education is a key element in ensuring the safety of industrial enterprise workers and a factor in reducing the risks of adverse outcomes in acute and critical conditions.</p></sec><sec><title>Introductory course for a health post physician</title><p>In the setting of offshore facilities operating in remote areas with limited transport accessibility, particularly in the Arctic Shelf waters, medical care acquires distinct features. The inability to rapidly evacuate patients, the limited resources of health posts, and the high probability of emergencies create a demand for special training of medical professionals. To ensure their readiness to work in extreme conditions, it is advisable to conduct an additional “Introductory Course.”24 This course supplements the basic qualification requirements and develops the specific competencies necessary for autonomous practice.</p><p>The “Introductory Course” for a health post physician assigned to an offshore structure or vessel is a mandatory preparation stage before commencing work. This program has been developed by specialists in the field of industrial medicine, based on more than 25 years of experience in organizing the healthcare system and providing medical care at remote and hard-to-reach industrial facilities. Practice demonstrates that this course enables the physician not only to refresh theoretical knowledge and practical skills but also to gain the confidence necessary for rapid adaptation to the specifics of safeguarding the health of personnel on offshore platforms and vessels. The program’s primary objective is to ensure the physician’s readiness for:</p><p>The content of the “Introductory Course” is based on an assessment of worker health risks and professional standards, ensuring its alignment with current qualification requirements. The training duration is 92 academic hours, of which 49 hours are allocated to theoretical studies and 43 hours to practical skill development.

The practical part is focused on developing clinical and organizational skills, such as performing resuscitation procedures, ensuring airway patency, providing care for trauma and bleeding, executing immobilization and transportation of casualties27, and using personal protective equipment and medical devices [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit16">16</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit25">25</xref>].</p><p>Particular emphasis is placed on preparation for managing critical conditions, including acute coronary syndrome, cardiac arrhythmias, severe allergic reactions, and polytrauma [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit25">25</xref>]. Independent modules are dedicated to providing care for respiratory tract diseases, glycemic control in diabetes mellitus, and managing patients under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The program also includes fundamentals of minor surgery and bandaging techniques, which is especially important when immediate evacuation is impossible.</p><p>An important component of the course is the development of leadership and teamwork skills. The health post physician typically works alongside medical assistants, thus being responsible for organizing adequate medical response in emergency situations. Practical sessions practice teamwork algorithms, medical triage in mass casualty incidents, and training enterprise workers in elements of first aid. Such preparation develops the physician’s confidence in their own professional competence and readiness to coordinate staff actions in extreme situations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit26">26</xref>].</p><p>An equally significant area comprises modules related to preventive work. The physician is trained to conduct dynamic monitoring of the worker health status, implement anti-alcohol programs, and supervise the sanitary conditions of living quarters, catering, and water supply. These aspects are particularly relevant for isolated groups, where infectious diseases and behavioral risks can rapidly escalate into a serious threat.</p><p>The “Introductory Course” not only reinforces the existing knowledge but also adapts this knowledge to the specifics of a remote offshore structure. As a result, the physician develops a specific set of competencies beyond standard training, allowing them to become a key figure in the entire system of medical safety at a particular industrial facility.</p><p>Thus, the “Introductory Course” serves as a bridge between mandatory and additional competencies, on the one hand, and the practice of autonomous work at Arctic offshore structures, on the other. Its completion becomes a criterion of the specialist’s readiness for work in remote conditions, a confirmation of the ability to combine clinical, organizational, and preventive activities, and a guarantee for the employer in ensuring personnel health and safety. This is why successful completion of the course is considered an essential requirement for a physician to be approved for work at offshore platforms and support vessels [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit27">27</xref>].</p></sec><sec><title>Additional training and professional licensing requirements for healthcare professionals</title><p>To perform duties in remote industrial settings, including offshore structures and support vessels, medical personnel are required to undergo specialized training and possess verified documentation, which is an essential prerequisite for professional authorization.</p><p>For physicians working on emergency rescue duty vessels and at health posts of offshore ice-resistant fixed platforms, the following requirements are mandatory:</p><p>Additionally, a physician on an emergency rescue duty vessel must possess:</p><p>For physicians at health posts of offshore platforms, completion of training in the use of an evacuation slide (Sky Shute/Sky Scape) is mandatory, also with a certificate valid for at least one year.28</p><p>In addition, medical personnel are required to possess a valid health record book and an official medical certificate of professional fitness for work, issued in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation. An important requirement is undergoing mandatory psychiatric examination with a conclusion from a specialized commission confirming the absence of mental disorders specified in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation.29 This requirement applies to specialists working in the oil and gas industry, including those on a rotational basis in the Far North regions, as well as to employees whose activities involve the handling of narcotic and psychotropic substances and work in emergency medical services.</p><p>Mandatory admission conditions also include immunization of medical personnel according to the national and regional vaccination schedules, including vaccination against hepatitis B. This set of measures ensures not only the legitimacy of a physician’s admission to perform professional duties but also their actual readiness to work under conditions of high professional load, elevated risks, and limited access to specialized medical care.30</p></sec><sec><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>The conducted analysis has confirmed that training of medical personnel for health posts at offshore Arctic facilities remains one of the key unresolved tasks in the Russian healthcare system. The existing education system does not ensure the training of specialists capable of autonomous work in conditions of limited resources and prolonged transport inaccessibility.</p><p>The staffing insufficiency is exacerbated by the absence of a professional standard for a “shipboard (platform) physician,” which hinders the creation of a stable personnel reserve for strategically important industrial facilities. The existing mandatory qualification requirements only allow for minimal confirmation of professional readiness and do not cover the entire range of competencies necessary for work in Arctic conditions.</p><p>Under these conditions, additional training becomes particularly important, including regular simulation trainings (BLS, ALS, ITLS) and specialized programs, as well as an “Introductory Course” that integrates clinical and organizational skills, taking into account the specific features of working at Arctic offshore structures. Such a multi-level training model equips physicians with competencies that go beyond standard requirements and fosters their readiness for patient management in autonomous conditions.</p><p>The final element in developing the medical support system should be the creation of a unified registry of physicians who have completed the full training program. This tool will enhance the transparency of personnel policy, simplify the selection of specialists for work at remote facilities, and ensure an adequate level of medical safety in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation.</p><p>Authors’ contributions.
