Abstract

Personalized medicine (PM) as the healthcare of the future represents an innovative model for advanced healthcare and robust platform for relevant industrial branches for diagnostics and pharmaceutics. However, rapid market penetration of new technologies demands the implementation of reforms not only in biopharma, but also in education. Therefore, the problem of the updated education of specialists in bioengineering, drug design and affiliated fields is becoming particularly urgent, and it requires significant revision of newer programs and curricula to be updated. Modernization and integration of widely accepted standards require consolidation of both the natural and medical sciences that may become the conceptual basis for the biopharma education. The main goal of this training is to provide development of novel multifaceted approaches to build academic schools for future generations. So, a higher, secondary and primary education as a trio should be integrated into the circuit. Based on current trends and own experience, we have made the first steps towards reshuffling the canonical educational tandem “School-University” and restructuring of specialized groups (with targeted disciplines) to get the mentees to be involved into having the existing healthcare system advanced and stepped forward. Moreover, non-canonical approach has been used to create a team of young researchers and biopharma students which has been recognized as The International Research Team of Youngsters under the aegis of EPMA (Brussels, EU) and ISPM (Tokyo, Japan). The integration of the primary and secondary education provides: 1. development in the chosen direction; and 2. optimization of the jointly set activity of a student and the teacher within a pair or a tandem (mentor-mentee). The above-mentioned has pre-determining value, because under the disintegration of the world community expressed the competition in quality of the scientific intellect dramatically increases. The same occurs in the areas of quality of all of three segments of the educational process, i.e., pre-college (secondary school), university and graduate.
