Introduction. The problems of organisation of continuous medical education and the need for accreditation of specialists in the main areas of disaster medicine bring to the fore the development and realisation of electronic educational and methodological complexes as a fundamental component for implementing supplementary professional advanced training programmes. Purpose of the study: to present a uniform methodology for the development and application of electronic educational and methodological complexes based on modular technology, iterative approach and expert evaluation method. Methods. The empirical pedagogical research was based on the results of observation, experiment and content analysis of the educational process organised for the Federal state budget-funded institution Nikiforov All-Russian Centre for Emergency and Radiation Medicine under the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the main areas of disaster medicine from 2017 to 2023, based on the module technology, iterative approach and expert evaluation method. Results. A number of electronic educational and methodological complexes were developed and successfully implemented in the distance learning system of Nikiforov All-Russian Centre for Emergency and Radiation Medicine under the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, being based on the uniform methodology and State standard (GOST) R 55751-2013: “Medical assets and resources of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia used to eliminate medical consequences of emergencies”, “Organisation of a system of medical and evacuation measures during elimination of emergency situation consequences”, “Statistical indicators of morbidity among the staff of the Federal Fire-Fighting Department of the State Fire-Fighting Service under the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia”, “Actions to protect personnel in the event of radiation emergencies”, “Radiation safety in public health organisations”, “Aeromedical evacuation of victims in emergency situations”, “Technology of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at pre-hospital and in-clinic stages”. In 2022 and in the first quarter of 2023, more than 300 trainees from different regions of the Russian Federation successfully completed an instructional course. Conclusion. A uniform methodology makes it possible to standardise the educational process, to apply similar approaches and solutions, and also serves as a model for designing electronic educational and methodological complexes for other specialities. The electronic educational and methodological complexes developed and implemented in the distance learning system of the Federal state budget-funded institution Nikiforov All-Russian Centre for Emergency and Radiation Medicine under the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia have no analogues in the system of continuous medical education of the Russian Federation developed for basic five-year programmes.
